I'm new to hosting on Airbnb/short-term rentals, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe we need to quit obsessing over cashflow and look at our vacation rental as a long-term investment, similar to our IRA account.

Both are currently rented out long-term.

Consider if a modified schedule would work (like Tue-Thurs in the new town), or if you could drive there and back Mon morn and Fri afternoon...not for long term, but just long enough to keep the occupancy a few months longer.  

To win at seller financing you overpay on the price and reduce on the terms.

Underwrite for the worst you'll accept and then perform to your best ability to maximize over time.

Would this not be acceptable? 

Hi, I am buying a house in South Phili for a short or mid term rental.Anyone has an idea about how hard to take the license and general process and period of the licensing from the town?

Hi NYC neighbors and out of area investors: I'm wanting to know how many of you have chosen to use a hired manager for your long term hold rentals.  

I would recommend that in the short term you include that comparison against any real estate investment you  consider.
