One of the first things we say to them is that "We only want to buy if you want to sell" People are coming to us to solve their problem and they've decided well ahead of time that selling the home solves their issue.

I would also stay away from people just starting out, its hard being a 1/2 person operation with a low unit count.Best of luck!

It's awesome that more people are planning ahead and booking their stays, which is a great sign for the industry.

I have been helping people buy and sell STRs in Estes Park as a real estate agent for quite a few years. 

Nashville is a hot market for Rentals currently and it seems like that won't change anytime soon, and I've noticed that people are renting in Columbia and Madison quite frequently.

Besides looking at the BP forums, I would look at any local meetups and see who people are using.

Surround yourself with successful like-minded people and you will get where you need to be!

There are other solutions out there and I'd like to emphasize that people shouldn't jump to paying for a bookkeeping service that might cost 3% or more of their gross revenue.There is Quicken for business and Waves accounting, and likely many other software programs.

So you'l definitely want to talk with a few people in this process.

I'm buying in Brownsville soon, but want to interview quite a few people first.
