I know Air/VRBO are strongly pushing for hosts to offer non-cancellable bookings at a 10% discount. 

I see lots of cabins for sale but I’m concerned if the market is strong.

Is it fair that the county can raise property taxes due to a strong market?

The rental had ratty furniture, a record player prominently featured in the marketing but it had no speakers, missing basics items in the kitchen, lots of drunks in the concrete hallways that reverberated right into the bedroom at 2am, a strong odor of urine outside, and more.We have super hosts in this forum that have hundreds of 5-star reviews and are masters of the craft, but I look at their rentals and see they don't have any artwork on the walls, decor is basic, they do nothing to make the guest feel welcome, etc. 

Longer lead times I get alot of intern inquiries which can be fine but income wise they aren't as strong a candidate.

These can sometimes have more flexible terms than standard construction loans, especially if you can demonstrate strong income through your bank statements.

It’s entirely possible to operate with integrity, provide real value, and still earn a strong income.
