If you have several STR hosts in the neighborhood, I would get together with them and have strength in numbers. 

Tomorrow, there is a REI Networking event at Kirby's Icehouse - Memorial (6:00 PM-9:00PM) hosted by New Western.

@Austin Carr I don't know of any local groups who analyze deals in person, but I host a free session each Saturday at 4:00 P.M.

I co-host an online women’s investing group for our local REIA and would love to connect.

As for vTiger, I believe it’s free version is self-hosted, which means you need to have your own web hosting infrastructure and domain setup to take advantage of their open source option

Hosts are required to collect this tax from guests and remit it to the city or county monthly or quarterly.California State Income Tax: Income earned from renting out a property must be reported on your state tax return.

You need to be networking, finding ways to get on podcasts, speaking at meetups (or hosting), building social media accounts.They need to "like" and "trust" you too.  

This is something to be concerned about for a whole host of reasons.

I'm on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Houfy, which is like direct booking - no fee to the guest, and a small yearly fee to the host to list.

I am not a guru or a podcast host, just a resource to help you carry out your plan So basically high priced garbage.
