You actually have to have a job much of the time just to feed the negative beast…. at least that is the case a lot of the time during the first number of years. 

Other software also has bank feed integration, automated income tracking, receipt scanner, accountant-approved reporting, etc.Of course, it totally depends on what features you prioritize! 

In order to get there it would be good if you could keep feeding cashflow proceeds back into acquisitions, on top of your continued W2.Speaking from experience, you can manage probably 30-50 units yourself nights and weekends before you really need to hire someone.

By searching for and discovering active Facebook pages, Instagram feeds, and Twitter feeds, you’ll connect with active investors and real estate agents that you never would have known otherwise.Run Facebook Ads and Promoted PostsFacebook is one of the most powerful websites in the world.

The price you pay for being part of the Disney World spoon-feed of guests is that the barrier to entry for profitable STRs (ones that leverage close to or max LTV) is very, very high.  

Since Airbnb remits at the state level when I see high numbers (or low) of what I am remitting for other OTAs/direct I then drill down to make sure listings are optimized on all channels.

@Steve Mitrano this thread got bumped up in my feed and looks like you found a resolution but just to add.  

There was a great feed the other day with about 35 awful pieces of advice which mostly noted: "quit claim deed the property"...

I have three listings, 1. unit with a pool and hot tub, 2. unit with a hot tub, 3. both units together as a 12 sleeper.Gross monthly income (after booking channel fees) for the first unit over a 7 month period was $7309.Gross monthly income for both units over a 14 month period is $11,297 (after booking channel fees) As a long term rental the combined rent would be in the region of $5500.Is it possible to sell the property based on the income generated by the STR business or would the value always be based on bricks and mortar comps?
