I purchased a home in a prominent vacation area in Colorado a few years ago. I live in it part time and rent it out part time. For the past 3 years, STR bookings have been great. They've provided a steady source of income and I have had no shortage of bookings. Suddenly, starting in April of this year, my views on Airbnb have gone to zero. I've gotten zero booking requests since March. I've reached out to Airbnb, who scratched their heads and referred me to a generic article about lowering nightly rates. I've tried everything from lowering rates to reducing nightly minimums to offering discounts and nothing has moved the needle. I'm perplexed.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar with their STR, if anyone has any insight or maybe even a recommendation of alternate STR platforms.

Thank you!

We are trying to repave roads in our mobile home park located in Florence, South Carolina park and are striking out with contractors who are interested in/capable of doing the job. I'm looking for a recommendation for a road contractor local to Florence or willing to travel to the area. Thank you!

We are trying to repave roads in a mobile home park in Florence, South Carolina and are striking out with road contractors. Does anyone have a recommendation or trusted source for road contractors in Florence or the surrounding areas?

Anyone have an electrician recommendation for a mobile home in Topeka? I've called several electricians who have said they don't work on mobile homes. I've got a tenant whose breaker box wires were fried.

Thanks, Shane. These are good starting points. Topeka, from my experience, seems to be a black hole for contractors. I'm encouraged to hear that you did find some reliable people. 

Hi Jacob, it's 50 pads - about 80% occupied.

Wow - thank you! This is encouraging to hear. We have a supply shed that has been robbed multiple times since we've bought the park. We've tried several different locks and somehow, people continue to get in. Streetlights are a great idea. And our fencing could probably use a facelift as well. Thank you for your input. 

We recently bought a mobile home park that is in need of security cameras. It's a good size (50 lots) and is pretty spread out. Wired cameras don't seem to make a lot of sense in a park this big, but wireless cameras also seem like a problem because of the need for WiFi. Generally, do most people buy WiFi for the park in order to operate their security cameras? Or am I missing something?

Does anyone have a referral for a reliable handyman in Topeka, Kansas? We just acquired a park in Topeka and have tried out several maintenance people. Each one of them has shown up, taken a few measurements, left in the middle of the day and then never returned another phone call. This has never happened to me before, and it's been the case with more than 1 person thus far. Does anyone know of a reliable person who would at least answer a phone call if they weren't interested in the job?
