I also have my own web site with calendar that reflects bookings. 

This enables them to account for all income and expenses for the calendar month before paying out the owner draw in publishing your statement.I pay my owners around the 10th to 15th of each month, which is more common and what most owners expect.

I keep telling people they should be on all three large sites with syncing of calendars, the intricacies of each, Dynamic pricing and having their own website to capture billboard effect people every other pathway is a different version of shooting yourself in the foot.

I had my tenant's paydays written on my calendar.

This is where you sell your land first and then identify your replacement property within 45 calendar days and then acquire your replacement home within 180 calendar days. 

I staggered them over 2 calendar years for tax purposes. 

You can get a good idea of nightly rates and how full calendars are.

It doesnt really matter if they are enabling you to make money.HA/VRBO keeps my calendar full and makes me money.

Set your calendars for a 1 month min. or block your dates on VRBO or Airbnb if you think you can get direct booking for that time period.Most guest will expect a discount off your nightly rate for a 1 month stay.

I advise my clients to block some time off the calendar during a traditionally slow time and pre-book all your work to be done during that time.
