The truth is, you could read 100 books and still not know enough because certain things need to be learned through trial-and-error.

There are huge variations in property values and rent-ability throughout the UP.

I would recommend it, I think they have a free trial for 7 days and I bet after you try it you'd want to get it, would recommend

This is called a "waterfall" and it rewards the person doing the work if they do a great job and produce a great return.Extra credit (postgraduate class):  There are variations on how pref is treated.

- These photos will reel people into your property and ultimately make or break if a person decides to book with you - Professional photos typically range from about $200-$500 and it all depends on your market 3) Competitive pricing - There are so many great softwares that automate this process like Pricelabs and Beyond Pricing- These softwares are constantly updating pricing automatically based on the demand of the properties in the area - There are also so many customizations you can play around with to do a lot of trial and error - Highly recommend choosing to offer a discount on the first few bookings- Airbnb and VRBO both offer this option to you as part of the listing setup process4) Response time - The listing platforms like Airbnb and VRBO prioritize hosts who are extremely responsive to guests - Make sure you are responding to guests as soon as they send a message - There are software's that automate the majority of the messages like - request to book, booking confirmed, check-in instructions, check-out instructions, and more!

The key, I think, is to actually stay away from the "classic" REI keyword portfolio and look for cheaper ways to get in front of the same audience.Typically, we'll do this by prioritizing the most profitable keywords in phrase match variations, avoiding exact match altogether (broad is still too broad in most markets, though it's probably worth a test in a market like yours).Another key is going to be finding the place at which you can affordably compete - NOT going after the top positions because that's what everyone else is doing.We find that the top spots in MANY markets are actually not worth the increase in cost - and that you can actually do more deals by targeting position 2, 3, etc.

There is no magic bullet , you could make an educated decision but its just trial and error . 3. 

Please share your trial and tribulations with this guy.  

You can also even post an add for trial and error.
