Since BP has this new funky advertisement in the forums that does not allow you to reply, (link above) I'll reply using the same title in hopes to generate some conversation.

I started advertising it at $2100 and steadily lowered it to now $1700. 

Instead, a hybrid approach could be more cost-effective and aligned with your goals.Why Full-Service Property Management Might Not Be Necessary:Based on my experience, Evolve is a popular "half-service" property manager, which means they handle tasks like creating professional listings, managing dynamic pricing, guest communication, and advertising on platforms like Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

It sounds weird, but you have to be careful how much you advertise so that you don't get a reputation for being "out of money", while at the same time networking with wealthy individuals/family offices/private equity.It's a little different if your approach is going to be only loaning your own capital.

Think about partnering with local event organizers and advertising your place as a perfect accommodation for visitors.Seasonal decor: Make your property feel cozy and festive during the holidays, or provide season-specific gear like beach chairs in summer or sleds in winter.Local Partnerships:Experiences and services: Partner with local tour guides, restaurants, or even spas to offer exclusive deals or curated experiences for your guests.

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Not to be critical but  advertising wasn’t allowed.  

Go to any of the large, national hard money lenders, including the ones which advertise here on BP.

STRs have platforms that do much of the heavy lifting to advertise your unit once you've set everything up.
