Hello,

I have a property manager that is currently managing my Airbnb property, but I am not very happy with their services.  I'm thinking about taking over the management of the property myself.  If I were to take over the management of the property, i would need to essentially create a brand new listing for my property.  If I were to use the same verbiage in the current ABB listing and the same exact photos, would ABB flag that as as a duplicate listing or would ABB have an issue with this?  

@Denver McClure you can do background checks on tenants and collect rent using Baselane?

What is the best all-in-one software that will allow me to background check/screen tenants, collect rents, and create leases for MTR's?  Is there such a software program out there?  

Hello,

Besides Furnished Finder and ALE solutions, what are some other companies that I can reach out to in order to get MTR leads?

What's the best way to find foreclosures in your area?   Is it to look on websites like Foreclosure.com?  or some other website? 

I have an STR that is geared towards couples. I'm thinking about adding LED string lights to the bedroom. Should i do it or no? Do the string lights cheapen the Airbnb experience?

@John Underwood those are some great tips! i feel like the local FB groups will not allow me to advertise my STR there because they would label it as "soliciting".. any way to get around this so that it doesn't look like i'm soliciting?

My STR is located about 3 minutes from a University. How can I market my STR the parents of the university students who are in town visiting their students? or how can I market my STR to individuals who are in town for college sporting events? Is there way to direct market to these types of individuals?

Question - should I be providing my guests with free Netflix?  Or can i assume that almost every guest will log-in with their own Netflix account?  

Also - should I provide guests with free Disney+?

Question - besides my homeowners policy, should I also get additional STR insurance outside Aircover? Does Aircover actually cover broken/damaged household items? If a guest destroys my place, how do I get reimbursed??
