We are currently putting our first STR on Air B&B and VRBO.

Second-- you have it listed as an apartment, people who search for HOUSES-- will purposely uncheck apartments to narrow it down, so you've shot yourself in the foot already by not getting to those people who see the value in a HOUSE!  

So far I have narrowed down my options to Xero or Quickbooks.

Have you narrowed it down to a state or even several cities?

San Antonio listing agent of the house we narrow down, being a dual agent and represent us as wellThe main reason we are looking at these is for the part of buyers agent commission being given back towards closing cost.

If it isn't significant I can't imagine spending that kind of money all at once and would most likely pick a few items that get the most band for your buck. 

We formulate our opinions and then we wash them through the prism of historical precedents and moderate accordingly.Institutionally, today, I can tell you from speaking to both lenders and equity, the concern is that there is very little spread between Class C assets and those in tertiary locations, and Class B and A in primary markets.

I have not done my 1st deal, but that is only due to my narrow approach to Real Estate. 

First narrow your search area to areas you’ve research.

The places that I have narrowed down my searches to all typically have small populations of around 8,000-12,000 people.
