Lot's of listings around the metro have forgone putting out 'For Sale' signs in front of vacant homes for this reason.

It's not hard to build a buyer's list.

I will add you to the email contact list so you get notified of future meetings. 

Repaired and furnished all the units and listed them MTR/STR.

Otherwise, if a savy investor was to purchase a property for say $75 when if it was "listed" it would sell for $100... 

However, not all agents (myself included) were agents during the time you are referring to so no, we all couldn't make sales and listings like others did.

Most of our STRs have an office set up of some sort or a spot to work with monitors and we do find this attracts a lot of guests where someone needs to work while the family enjoys the activities.Traveling nurses get a lot of the buzz around MTRs but displaced families from fires (Napa and Oregon do see a lot of these), other work force that can be remote or travel, or other potential guests.Also, definitely use Airdna or one of the other sites that estimate your revenue to see how it would perform in your market and then look at other listings as well to see what amenities they offer to see if you could be competitive in your market.

I have like Airb&b much better but their customer service for tweaking a listing could be better. 

I fund BRRRR deals for investors all over the country though and Cincinnati and Birmingham are certainly on the list of usual suspects in terms of being top 10 BRRRR markets. 

Does anyone have tips on listing a detached ADU or back house?
