It makes no sense for the platforms to allow the guests to change a booking and start a new cancellation policy, but they don't care if hosts are screwed over.  

With that comes a host of opportunities for health care, businesses, entrepreneurs, etc.  

@Jim Garrett @Sam Ohanesian @Gerald Thitchener - I host a virtual meetup every week with folks across the country.

Long-distance hosting can work really well with the right systems and local team in place.Happy to connect and share what I’ve seen working in today’s STR markets!

I would recommend trying to find local host FB groups and asking there. 

You are seeing the real-time fallout from the Airbnb switch to the Host-Only Fee for those of us using a PMS.What happened is simple: a ton of hosts who were previously paying only the small 3% fee completely missed the memo about raising their base rates.

Anyways, Host Financial is submitting it to another lender who knows about the situation and is collecting the building permits, etc. up front so we'll see.

Share your simple credibility story with weekly updates to your network to attract partners, and host a small meetup or Zoom in Spanish to serve your community while positioning yourself as the connector.

Not all hosts have accounted for the 15.5% Airbnb fee and the rates are artificially low.

A lot of investors in that niche hang out in local STR meetups, regional REI groups, and even city-specific Facebook groups where hosts discuss regulations and openings.Curious — are you mainly seeing historic homes, or more rural/semi-rural properties with acreage?
