Looking for an investor friendly contractor to do a complete remodel/addition in the Hyde Park area of Tampa. Anyone have any good referrals?

Thanks Jon,

With my other property where people have had weddings, we didn't do anything except rent them the house. They brought in everything. Maybe I should team up with a couple wedding planners if I decided to do it?

Who uses their STR as a wedding venue? I have one property that, while we haven't advertised it as a wedding venue, we have hosted several wedding there. I have another property that I may sell, but I am considering making it into a wedding venue. Its a big house, very remote, with awesome views.

I would be interested in hearing other views on this strategy.

Thanks for all the fantastic advise. We just had pictures taken and have updated our listings. Any more advise is certainly appreciated!

Thanks for your replies. I just called Airbnb and was told there is not a way to upload a rental agreement. I insisted that this was an option, but the rep I spoke with was pretty adamant that it couldn't be done.

Is anyone interested in looking at our airbnb listings and recommending what we might be able to improve in our offerings?

We never intended to get into the vacation rental business, but we are now in a position to get it right. We want to put our best door forward. Any suggestions are appreciated!

I am looking to revamp my vacation rentals. I'm purchasing all new kitchenware, etc. I'm am also looking to make all the bedsheets, etc. pretty uniform. I have a total of 16 beds. Does anyone have a recommendation for good, durable, low cost sheets, pillows, etc.?

My office manager is having trouble figuring out how we can use our rental agreement on VRBO and Airbnb. We have had a couple of chargebacks with credit cards over the past 2 years and we've lost them because we don't have signed rental agreements. How do you go about getting these signed as a condition of accepting the guests stay?

Do you really get bookings from craigslist? If the VR is in San Diego, you just post it on the SD Craigslist site? What kind of response do you get?

Is there a way to post a vacation rental on multiple sites without doing individual listings on every site out there?
