A whole working business with properties, a booking site and a brand that creates loyalty.

Never heard of Host Financial.

Close to a cool little town, close to an area attraction, etc....Also do a search here and see how to screen guests, in addition to what the hosting sites do.... like no last minute bookings, no short stays....

I have been lurking on the site and attended webinars for a while but I am just here to learn and I am soaking it all up!

Great hosts will be good neighbors, will contribute to local tourism and will pay their taxes and permit fees* A major area to improve on the proposal is the 1 hour time-limit for resolving complaints.

Short term rentals are legal when the host is living in the same apartment as the guests and there are no more than 2 guests staying with the host."

The only exception is for on-site managers, like you'd find living in one unit of an apartment building and managing the building on behalf of the owner.

I heard many hosts say that they rarely get any bookings on FF.  

Vacation rental owners should be on all four listing sites.

Your host's (Abby's) half-naked profile pic is very off-putting.
