All answers welcome, however those in mountainous areas near large metros, how many days in advance does your average guest book?

This restriction could be due to your employment status, income, credit history, and liquid asset requirements - however with a non-qualified mortgage, private lenders focus on; high credit score, investing experience, and liquid assets.

In my market, one of my direct competitors, the one that is doing the best on AirBnB, is on the main road for our area that all cars must go down and after seven months listed and 29 reviews, not a single guest has mentioned it in their review.

We have guests who come for events at the Expo almost every month and families who have adopted a child, not to mention events like Tulsa Tough and The Rt 66 Marathon.

Land is gold, IMO.

We have also put some small items under the tree for those guests with kids.

There is plenty that is out of your hands as you're not the owner of the property though so this can impact the guest experience out of nowhere sometimes.

While some claim to have a personal touch, I actually go out of my way to make each and every guest feel at home and welcomed!

@Whitney Griffith, One Rental at a Time has great content on this and has a recurring guest whose expertise is cost segregation and depreciation.
