I need someone who is motivated to generate direct bookings, especially since my property is themed, and Airbnb doesn't do a great job of marketing the theme. 

Negotiations were straightforward, with the seller motivated to close quickly, which allowed Partner Driven and Rodney Lomax to secure a favorable purchase price of $180,000.

In this case, it is not.It's about intelligence and data, not "patience and Persistence".If you need to "follow up" on people, it means you are not reaching motivated sellers.

@Jon K.The average return is not the same as an annualized return, as it ignores compounding.Your calculation takes compounding into account.https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/averagereturn.asp#:~:text=Key%20Takeaways-,The%20average%20return%20is%20the%20simple%20mathematical%20average%20of%20a,return%2C%20as%20it%20ignores%20compounding.

Trying to contact them through all methods of communication is the first step - call, text, email, knock on the door, etc.

They're seldom home during the day and on weekends.The upstairs tenant texted me yesterday (I do have a separate phone line for our properties) saying she's having noise issues with the downstairs tenants: banging the screen door closed after she's gone to sleep on weeknights (11:00pm), talking on the phone at 1:30am, up and about at 2:30am on the weekend.

Almost all my communication is through texts.

I'll text you!
