The algorithm scans keywords in your listing description and even the alt text of your photos to determine relevance.For example:A picture of a game room could land in the "Play" category if the photo’s alt text is labeled something like: “Amazing game room with ping pong and pool table.”A picture of a beautiful view of land with the alt text being “Beautiful view of the countryside”Your photos can do more than look good—they can strategically get your listing into multiple categories by including targeted alt-text descriptions.The more categories you rank in, the more visibility your listing gets, leading to more clicks and higher rankings in Airbnb search results.Testing and Improving Your CTROnce your photos are optimized, it’s time to test their impact.

Great Description.I love your first photo that shows multiple shots and the name of your cabin.Great amenities and pictures of these.Fantastic job!

I cannot stress the importance of the design and theme of your home being something nice and modern in the common areas, along with creating some sort of a wow factor, whether that be a theater room, game room in the garage, and or the theming of multiple bedrooms to be a relevant Disney character or movie design.

I’ve got a few solid crews in the Midwest, but juggling multiple projects can still get messy.Off-market deals are out there, but they go quick.

The decision between buying a true investment property vs. a second home with STR income depends a lot on how you plan to use it—and how much you want the IRS involved in that definition.Here’s a quick breakdown to help you compare: Option 1: Second Home w/ STR IncomeYou stay in the property personally (including friends/family time).You can still rent it out, but personal use impacts tax deductions.If you use it more than 14 days OR more than 10% of total rental days, it’s considered a personal residence with rental activity under IRS rules.Pros:May qualify for second home mortgage rates (usually lower than investment)You get personal use flexibilityCons:Rental-related expenses must be prorated based on personal useLess tax write-off potential (can’t take passive loss deductions unless it qualifies as a business) Option 2: Pure Investment Property (STR Business)You limit or eliminate personal use.The property is treated as a rental business under the IRS.You can write off:DepreciationManagement feesTravel to inspect/manageSupplies, repairs, and morePros:More robust tax benefitsClearer cash flow analysisEasier to grow into multiple unitsCons:No personal use flexibility without triggering IRS reclassificationOften comes with slightly higher lending rates or down payment requirements Where to Start:Talk to a STR-friendly CPA – This is huge.

@Daniel HartzI would pursue multiple options.

Combined with the fact that they’ve removed their Google reviews presence and now control all visible guest feedback on their own website (other than the obviously faked Trustpilot push they gave up on), it gives off a tightly managed PR strategy rather than organic transparency.I’m not saying they can’t deliver a good guest experience—but from an owner/investor lens, there are multiple red flags worth serious due diligence.

A good flipper should have a good relationship with the best listing agent in the area and pay them a good commission so you don't have multiple flips for sale at the same time.

For property owners, especially those with full-time jobs or multiple listings, co-hosts take a lot off their plate.
