Strange because I have gotten more Airbnb bookings than I have ever had this year. Vrbo is still far superior for me.
Do you allow pets?
Yes I do.
Then your reply of it's being your best year so far and my data seems to be consistent. That's a really good data point that you have done better. Thank you for sharing 🙇

Are there any good meet ups or REIs in the orlando area?
Yes there are several monthly meetups and a nice community of investors here in Orlando.
That's great! I will send you a message and maybe you can link me to a few?

I wonder if its just the market conditions I have seen others post on BP about how slow that area is for bookings the last year.. could be saturation ?
I truly don't believe so.
People have said that for years but I have always stayed booked - until the last 3 months. And it was night and day.
I'm only a few days in and I think my theory is correct regarding what Airbnb has changed and what it will promote and what it will NOT promote.
I will say this, Superhost does not seem to matter anymore. Well, it may, but it is weighted A LOT LESS than what it was.
And Jay, thanks for being nice in your response! I remember seeing you over 5 years ago posting in here when I was active! Good to see you are still around.

@Travis Rasmussen - I have ZERO knowledge, insight or facts to know if this is true or NOT - so don't kill the messenger please :) ... But I've read many versions of the theory that STR / Airbnb has (until recently) been largely an amateurs game. But has evolved into one where only the pros will succeed. Now with a grand total of 6 months under my belt - I'm no pro, so you'd know better than me if such theories hold any weight. I have no idea... But that's what I've read from others.
BTW Jonathan, you sound like a nice guy!
I wish you much success as you start your journey! :)

If my theories are correct - then it won't be a "it's not for amateurs" but that Airbnb is rewarding behavior that benefits it as a system.
Local hosts (compared to business entities) are much more likely to do X behavior instead of Y behavior.
We shall see! That's why I will share the results of what I am testing here.
I obviously could be wrong.
