We have had the same tenant in this property since we purchased it.

Guests treat those kinds of bookings differently than a STR vacation home.They are used to being able to cancel the booking 24 hours in advance and all sorts of other things that STRs like ours can't really accommodate.

Is this an amenity worth spending $$ on?

I would like to start using social media, in particular YouTube, to market my business but I know very little about it.

There simply isn't enough margin in this business to layer on a national company, without charging you an arm and a leg and/or doing a substandard job.

You are better off finding a good agent (this is a difficult task).

This is why I love real estate.

The tenant used an online maintenance request system to request a handful of maintenance issues for the first 6 to 8 months.

I am in the process of analyzing my next purchase and I was curious what resources people use to gauge how much they could rent a property for.  

And obviously yoru cpa would have told you to NEVER use a cost seg to make yoru income zero, that would be a waste.
