If you think Airbnb customer support is bad for the host/manager wait til you try HVMI...

Olivia I host just 1 rental there for about a month now.The HOA charges $75 if their form is sent in within 48 hours.

There are a few active FB group that host meetups

I recently listened to a bigger pockets podcast and the host recommended taking 20% off of the rental price suggested by the realtor.

I thought about getting around this by co-hosting in some fashion but they seem to want someone to do everything like manage the listings, tenant screening, security deposits, rent payments, maintenance requests and other tenant communications, and cleanings. 

My co-host said to allocate $3k for inspection and to address the findings to be safe and hope it is closer to $2k.  

While we haven’t officially co-hosted yet, we do travel frequently and have stayed in many Airbnbs ourselves.

.- Bathroom remodel.But most hosts miss this:Those interior improvements may qualify as QIP (Qualified Improvement Property), which means 15-year property, not 39-year… and potentially bonus eligible.If you’re depreciating interior renovations over 39 years, you may be dramatically underutilizing your deductions.Key rules most STR owners overlook: • Must be interior improvements (not structural, not expanding the building) • Must be placed in service after the building was originally placed in service • Applies to non-residential property, which many STRs can qualify as, depending on factsCombine QIP with cost segregation, and you’re not just accelerating appliances and furniture that you’re accelerating interior buildout, too.Cash flow isn’t just a nightly rate.It’s tax-efficient.If you’ve renovated a short-term rental in the last few years, it’s worth double-checking how those dollars were categorized.

I manage the other STRs locally as a co-host and we set up the same system.

Hey Chris this may be a little niche, if you don't find any success here I'd recommend local host groups on Facebook!
