Hey @Robert Carmody, we are only on AirBNB and VRBO and they work just fine.I have been reluctant to do a Booking.com listing due to the negative reviews I have heard from other hosts.Booking.com was geared towards hotel stays, which means your STR gets treated like a hotel room.

I bet they were valid.

Here are some articles to review in the meantime:1. https://www.padsplit.com/host-resources/news/how-affordable-...2. https://www.padsplit.com/host-resources/news/why-padsplit-is...

This is the most thorough review and feedback I've seen!

Build an SMB on top of your real estate (the reverse of #2)Short-term rentals and high owner-participation real estate businesses can have great returns.Obviously not for you if you just want passive RE.We are in the deep end here, where each case should be judged on its own facts and merits by your CPA.You should hire a professional to review your particular situation before you make an investment.

But I agree with @Stuart Udis - when making offers on occupied rental property, I always review the Financials including the RR & T12.

Buy quality assets with NON section 8 tenants that have 700 fico scores thats safe bet in the US>  And what I do ..

The fact its in a landbank tells me that it was taken back for some reason, which tells me its likely not a high commercial demand for development, but I could be wrong.If it is "on the main drag" in this town then I'd think doing a new build home to do a targeted and intentional air bnb would be the best bet. 

Your best bet is to find one that has flexible membership options, without high spend requirements.

Hey @Mike Pepperday, AirBNB and VRBO are your best bet to see what kind of demand there is for STRs in general.
