I'm not so sure it's just the lack of reviews.......I say spice up the pictures and the whole atmosphere of the place....it looks too sterile. IMHO. :-)

Prachi - You place looks nice and I believe is priced fairly. (Cleaning fee would turn me off though)

As was mentioned though.....it looks a bit bland. Like a motel room. Add some character.....maybe western, since Arizona is considered 'Wild West' ? That's how I did my places up around Prescott.....people seem to like it....

Nope. Why give away a % of your profits? This business is easy..... a little cleaning, a little office time, an occasional fix-it project. Some owners are just lazy I guess.

Caveat - Unless you don't live near your property. Of course then you'd need outside help.

I have had 2 occasions where AirBnB did not sync a VRBO listing. I assumed it was Air's problem but not sure. It's only been twice so not a big deal. I only use those two services so can't help with YP.......

Fair enough, Dave Stokely!

I just would not feel comfortable with it....

Thanks for HipCamp!

No loan, I paid cash for the 5 acres and built a pole house myself. 

A land loan for 'raw' land will require a 50% down payment and high APR as you know. Plus you will then possibly be forced to comply with local building codes. I would wait and look for land that you can pay cash for. In the middle of nowhere.

And instead of a composting toilet, think about digging a hole (deep) and putting a couple of 55 gallon drums (with leach line if needed). Easy to do, very efficient. Videos on YT about this.

First thoughts are: 1) Get rid of the first picture of the bed.....a nice (new) picture of the front of the house is what I'd want to see...and 2) more pictures in general. As someone said, more local attractions, Etc... Add more nice art and decorations....

3) Also price seems low, no matter where you are...could someone get a hotel in the area for that price? Looks nice and clean...

Good luck!

 Yours was a good, honest one......

OP - you'll notice that the Realtors and Property Managers all say it's no big deal....... :-)

I, for one, would never do it. Not ever. As in never.....
