If you said, "$60,000/year" thats somewhere around 17 rentals producing full time, and no major expenses coming up... which is a bit far fetched, but for the sake of numbers alone, that is what it would be.  

It is not a measure of profitability in any way and if you are using it to compare across different markets, it can be very misleading. 1% in our markets like Indianapolis and Kansas City will produce a much different bottom line that markets like Dallas that have very high property taxes and insurance rates.

Regardless of how much the management company charges, the vacation rental should produce a return equal to - or better than - a long-term rental.

I wish the online ads would produce more as well.

My recommendation would be to place more value on the trainings and brokerages that focus on income producing activities - i.e. cold calling, script role playing, following up with leads, listing and buyer presentations, etc. 

Don't make excuses, produce results!

You are helping to produce the future leaders in REI. 

We had no idea until they sent a Payout email for a different booking and it showed a $221 adjustment for "Dispute Reconciliation"  They say they sent me an email but the only one we got had no content or details and now 6 days later nobody from AirBnB has been able to produce this mysterious email that I never responded to,  and below is the response I received,..I have called repeatedly and whenever a rep picks up and starts the research the case the call just drops. 

The previous VA I hired was doing similar things for about 30 days and so far it's produced mostly cold leads (tire-kickers) and a few luke-warm leads.

Just make sure the going rent your after produces reliable tenants.
