I'm hosting my first guest now! 

@Ba Soet there's a great monthly meetup in Saratoga Springs hosted by @Allison Keib .

April 29 - May 1 in beautiful Denver, Colorado, the event will be hosted by none other than BiggerPockets Rookie Podcast co-host, Ashley Kehr!

On the podcasts over the past couple of years, it seems like the hosts of the original BiggerPockets podcast focus more on raising funds to invest in big deals than what I think they started out as, which was the mom/pop investor looking to grow on their own. 

Would she enjoy the soup-to-nuts, hands-on aspect of running it (like bed&breakfast hosts or innkeepers)?

Examples include: Hosting open houses (for other agents if you don't have active listings) every weekend, preferably the same areas and/or price ranges. 

What you’re describing sounds like hosts violating the COJ regulations.

I subscribed to Listr early March 2022Its $250 for the trainingAnd 10% of gross revenue for them to host your listing, and use their property management software,Plus an optional 2.5% of gross revenue if you want them to manage guest communicationsThe property management software lets you manage bookings, cleaning schedules, dynamic pricing, and manage your STR listings on multiple platforms (airbnb, vrbo, tripadvisor, homewaway).However, they don't let you access the property management software until you have your first listing.I haven't gotten my first listing yet so I'm not sure how good the property management software is

Took the property that was dated, dirty, spent about 25k updating, theming and stocking it to host guests on Airbnb.

I host a virtual call every Wednesday night with other investors in the area and it has proved invaluable.
