Take professional photos.I have only been a customer of Airbnb, but hosts have profiles that shows all of their listings.

That being said, I read some (old) reviews that said payments had been hung up (withdrawn from the tenant but not deposited into the landlords bank account longer than 10 days) and customer support was ZERO and their 'ticket' program kept automatically closing out the ticket request without resolution.

I just closed on a few properties in both Michigan and Alabama for a customer in Texas. 

Some Communities are buttoned-up and intimidating and others are more about sharing and educating - it's critical to find a network that is comfortable for you.If you are planning on investing in even one deal a year, the cost of the membership is likely a drop in the bucket compared with the capital you will commit when investing. 

Should I get into contracting with a flipper or custoM home builder for 50k a year 1099 and start my own llc and be a “real estate professional” and learn the ins and outs while making less money at first,  or take a sales job 9-5 that makes 150k a year w2 and build up capital first. 

You can have a PMS like Hospitable with custom auto messages and AI assistance to answer.

Or you could do a personal BRRRR, so you are the customer and control the customer response. 

If someone want's "E-Z Button" it's starting with going through PMc's and find the one you want to work with.

Impact: Builds long-term customer loyalty.

Alongside this journey, I’ve started my own car detailing company, which has given me a solid foundation in business management and customer service.
