It's a self-selection for sure, if a host expects full-service for a partial price, agree that's a terrible deal.From my experience, I respond to my guests directly (as a owner, it helps a lot of coz I know what kinds of travelers I want to target - I now focus on snow-bird, golf-goers, Canadian families).In the last 3 months, there is only one time that I need my agent coming over (the guest complained they couldn't connect to internet, even after I called them to try to resolve over the phone).One thing I do learn is the guest really respect & take care my places more, then they know they're talking to the owner directly on Airbnb/VRBO app.

We talked about ICF, his time in Colombia prior to starting this venture, his time in the Canadian Navy, and so much more.

My husband is Canadian and is looking to make local real estate friends like yourself to get to know the market better and talk strategy - add in a workout and he'd be in heaven!

Not sure how to proceed due to being a Canadian investing in the US.How do I find the market comps for my deal proposals to my lenders?

I think there are a few Canadian forums that may be of interest.
