It is a process where every month you tweak things here and there to find out what really draws customers to your property and for them to have a great guest experience. 

Try searching for older single family houses with a mother-in-law suite or guest house.

We have very little vacancy other than the night in-between guests, but that's a lot of nights over the course of the year.

You can set specific criteria to spot underpriced homes, distressed properties, or anything that’s flown under the radar.I know several investors have had more luck with using water shut off lists, so while it's more work, that might be an even better approach.One thing to note is that Privy compiles real-time MLS data and integrates public records, so you’re not just getting a snapshot of the listing status but a full picture, including owner history, property condition, and any price drops over time.That said, if your focus is primarily on expired listings, I'd also suggest checking out RedX—they’re known for their niche in expireds and FSBOs.

I am religious about checking and maintenance on the decks, stairs and railings just so I don't have a guest issue.

Back then water was so cheap that developers of multifamily buildings just included in the rents.Today is a different time and place so water is called "liquid gold".

My biggest problem is ongoing currently: neighbors in the municipality are being rude to my guests.  

Happy to get you a guest pass if you are interested and also be a resource as a Realtor if you need. 

Another one I talked to requires owners to pay for housekeeping at the end of their stay and a third said you could save money by coming after a guest checks out and cleaning after them yourself.
