We learned a ton:- How to navigate the Airbnb and VRBO platforms and optimize our listings- How to communicate with guests throughout their booking, stay, and post-stay time periods- How to operate a STR and still be a good neighbor to community members who live nearby year-round- Navigating crises (After one month, we had a frozen / burst pipe and flood affecting all 3 floors while guests were present, which could have been a financial and emotional disaster) Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Great post and I welcome your hesitancy because you’re utilizing a great platform to offer multiple POV’s!

How is AirDNA helping me with territory selection when viable river front properties are not represented on their platform? 

I know it is a much newer platform, and would love to know what folks are thinking (i.e., how does it compare to using Airbnb or VRBO?).

Let the VRBO and Airbnb platforms do the rest.  

You can use the platforms themselves but I find it easier to utilize the software, especially since you will be adding more rentals in the future. 

My reputation on this platform is important - to help out active duty, reservists, and veterans get into homes using their benefit wisely.Feel free to send a message.

Has anyone had experience on different platforms where you have searched for a commission-based salesperson?

Hey BP Community,First off, I just want to say how grateful I am to this platform.

If you use gel or foam mattresses, get solid steel platforms.
