No, I first just applied my theory to my listings and the ones I have applied it to have gotten a LOT of bookings in a short amount of time.I will have to see if I can go back and look at views for my properties from before summer, summer, post summer and post my changes.For those curious, I am taking the mindset of "If I was Airbnb and I wanted a consumer 1st approach, what would I want the algorithm to reward..."

You’ve already got the right mindset planning a few months ahead that’s key.

That mindset will serve you well.Since you're in Phoenix, AZREIA is definitely worth checking out.

We have several sets of parents who do not like their options for care in the future. 

The bigger driver is screening: GPA, parental cosigners, income, and rental history matter way more than gender.

@Evan Rekowski,Great mindset, Evan - doing the research early puts you way ahead.  

As a single parent juggling a full-time job, it is a  challenge to find time for discussions, especially in the middle of a Reno. 

If this is your first, it is far easier to manage than having other kids to parent and take care of with a newborn on top of that.

It didn’t magically get me a deal, but the connections, mindset shift, and confidence I left with made a huge difference.If you’re someone who thrives off learning in-person and wants to build long-term relationships with people in the same boat (or further ahead), it’s 100% worth considering.

After cursing their name (privately), I shift quickly into a “save the deal” mindset.
