I've never heard of SEO.

The answer is SEO.

You have all the control.You could stay in your own Vacation rental for free for a period of time (add this to your agreement)Make sure of their abilities, don't rent to someone that this is their first attempt at a STR.You have little risk in this scenario.Get first, last months and a security deposit to further minimize your risk and screen them like you would a normal tenant.

People simply regurgitate this because they heard it from others over and over and over again.The absolute best way to get leads (other than SEO) is do to paid ads.
