Go Ducks! And don't invest in Eugene: landlord/tenant rules are overlaid on top of the state rules and are onerous...

I concur with the above. 1% at least, and then run the numbers against your long term goal.

Every lender is different. It's fair for you to ask for a delineation of fees and charges on the front end.

Quote from @John Underwood:
Got this from Vrbo recently and I just turned this on as well as a last-minute booking discount.
Want to get ahead of the curve and fill your calendar early?
Now’s a great time to activate an Early Booking Promotion for your listing on Vrbo. These promotions are designed to attract planners—guests booking 60+ days in advance—and can help you secure longer stays well ahead of time.
Here’s why it’s worth it:
- More visibility – Get a special “Early Booking” badge in search results with 5% off or more.
- More control – Fill your calendar earlier and avoid last-minute gaps.
- Drive urgency – Reach travelers actively planning future trips by creating limited-time promotion they'll want to book now - not later.
You can set it up anytime under Calendar > Settings > Promotions in your Vrbo Owner account.
Thank you John! Just did Early and Last Minute!
