@Musarat YusufaliHey Musarat, great question—Austin has strong demand for mid‑term rentals thanks to things like tech relocation and contracting work, but the entry cost and competition are high.

IT'S FOR BRAGGING RIGHTS AND COMPETITIVENESS!

Check your competition, especially ones with full calendars to get ideas on what you copy in the way of marketing and amenities. 

I'd love to see competitive pressure!!

If you are partnered up with an experienced investor and create a new LLC that you are also a member of, this will be the easiest way to secure competitive financing and get the experience necessary to qualify on your own. 

That’ll help you stay competitive and attract qualified tenants faster.Also, make sure you’re very clear about your rental requirements in your listing — things like minimum income, credit score, move-in date, and pet policy.

@Case Mccarthy great question, Depends on the competitive environment, The average age in Maine is like 45... so we can't find many people to mow lawns and decided to keep it in house. also the margins at scale work out for both the owner and the management company. we do the same with snow removal

You are in the heart of tourism and travel in that neck of the woods so there’s tons of competition.

A lot of our investors are leaning on private lending to stay competitive, especially with how tight conventional guidelines have become.

So you have to be competitive with him.
