Would love to get your perspective on this.  

If you decide to move forward with Airbnb arbitrage, ensure that you have a legally binding agreement in place that outlines the responsibilities of both parties. Clearly define the terms of the arrangement, including rent payment schedules, maintenance responsibilities, and any penalties or consequences for breaches of the agreement.

It can be beneficial to outsource this task to a virtual assistant or a specialized cold calling company. Virtual assistants can handle the calls while adhering to a script or guidelines provided by you. Make sure to communicate your expectations clearly and set specific targets for the number of calls to be made. Alternatively, working with a reputable cold calling company with experience in the vacation rental market can also be a viable option. Look for reviews, testimonials, and case studies to ensure they understand your target audience and can effectively represent your property.

Regardless of the outsourcing route you choose, it's important to define your target audience and craft a compelling script that highlights the unique features and benefits of your vacation rental. Personalizing the conversation and building rapport with potential guests can increase trust and booking rates. Following up with interested leads and monitoring the performance of your cold calling efforts will allow you to make adjustments and optimize your strategy over time. Remember to complement cold calling with other marketing tactics, such as online channels and customer referrals, for a well-rounded approach.

Since you mentioned that the market may be saturated and prices are high, it would be beneficial to connect with individuals who are invested or working in the area. They can provide insights into the current trends, demand, and any recent changes in regulations regarding STRs. Local real estate agents, property managers, or even online forums dedicated to Big Bear can be excellent sources of information.

Considering your proximity to Big Bear, it makes sense to have your first rental property within driving distance. Being nearby will allow you to be more hands-on and manage the property effectively. However, as you mentioned, Southern California might not be the most favorable market for various reasons. Conducting thorough research and consulting with local professionals will help you make an informed decision regarding your investment.

Remember to consider factors such as ongoing expenses, maintenance costs, and potential rental income when evaluating the viability of an STR investment. Ultimately, gathering information from people with experience in the area will provide valuable insights to guide you in making the right decision.

Good luck with your endeavor, and I hope you find the information you're looking for!
