@Michael KaminskiIf your existing home is on the market the bank could do a traditional bridge loan which is short term and gives you time to sell your home - just want to make sure you have plenty of equity that when it sells it can pay off that loanWhat state you in ?

We have also started building a base of past guests, where we market discounts during the week (they opted in), and have had a couple bookings from that.

Research local market rates to determine how much more you can charge; often, Airbnb properties can command 20-50% higher than traditional leases, but this varies by location and demand.

I don't know anything about the Richmond market. 

We might sell if the rental market doesn't pan out—so curb appeal is important.

I'm in the market to purchase a short-term rental in Saint George Utah but the market there (perhaps like many places) feels very overpriced. 

These things can happen in this crazy market.

Quotes vary based on credit scores, points and other factors.The lower rates haven't quite had a foothold in the market yet, meaning active buyers don't have much competition...yet.
