That being said I should have something going on soon once decide on a co-host.

Garrett, I'd be happy to share my expertise and experience as a long-time STR host on the Emerald Coast. 

Quote from @Mike Grudzien: Ever feel like Hosts are just a captive audience to the platforms...?

As a solopreneur, I subscribe to the Zoho One suite for around $45/month, which gives me access to nearly all their apps—including CRM, Mail, Sites (website hosting), Sign (eSignatures), and Bookings (scheduling).

I just rented out most of the previous month , and agreed to pay the property manager 18% of the booking fee host payout so net of any guest service fees or occupancy taxes airbnb takes.  

It would be awesome if they hosted something while in Milwaukee.

Luckily Chicago hosts many meetups, some are posted in the Real Estate Classifieds here on BP.

Do you truly keep it passive — property managers, co-hosts, VAs? 

Curious what made you shift your mindset — I feel like these are the stories new hosts never hear about until they’re deep in it! 

that often come with a host of potential problems, many of which aren't visible at first glance but definitely need to be budgeted for.
