Other ways to find a home include searching for foreclosures and auction listings, contacting a real estate agent, or looking for "For Sale by Owner" listings.Foreclosure homes can be a good investment opportunity as they are often sold at a discount.

Personally I’ve never done the binder method and made a tenant multiple rent options, I’ve just set the new rate and sent it out to them via certified mail with a start date of the new rental amount 2 months out so they have time to move out if they want to.

If you open up the schedule and another guest books, then I agree with @Chris Seveney that a credit (assuming the new booking is at a discounted nightly rate) would be more than generous and also lets her know that you are a reasonable host if she does decide to book again in the future.It just feels odd that she would be contacting you the day of check-in to cancel due to the weather, when she could have communicated this days ago.

But I'd take anyone's prediction on rental rates with a grain of salt and more than a dash of "show me".  

Could have sent Rate increases out prior to using Rent Roll for future revenue stream. 

I had trouble finding a bank that would do two dwellings and ended up with a loan requiring 25% down and a few upfront points with 7.5-8% interest rate depending on lock in day.

Very low fees and probably equal or better rate - I have gotten 80K personal loans from SOFI. 

How are your conversion rates?

Due to high interest rate and almost $10k of property tax, we negative cash flow over $10k in 2023.

I applied for funding on COGO but the interest rates were to high as well as the points.
