So you have to raise your nightly rate to pay for Airbnbs extra fees so that you can make the same money.Luckily most of my bookings come from Vrbo.

My tenant is asking for permission to have her boyfriends "relatively small" dog stay in the apartment "a couple of times a month" at night. 

And so it begins.....The fundamental flaw of such hollow-promise pie-in-the-sky Oprah-hour "elect me and you get this for free, he get's this for free, she get's this for free, YOU ALL GET IT ALL FOR FREE" absolute utter BS nonsense, it's impossibility factor; the "rich" can say "Peace out yall!". 

And longer term stays pay less in taxes, hence the comment about 28+ night stays may differ)This highlights why a dynamic pricing tool such as PriceLabs is crucial for success in STR/MTR, so all of this adjustment takes place automatically, behind the curtains.

Have a great night! 

Listing at the end of the year definitely has some quirks, but it’s not all bad.Pros:Less competition — fewer homes hit the market around the holidays, so your listing can stand out.Buyers looking in December are usually serious (relocations, tax timing, year-end closings).Contractors and stagers are easier to schedule right before winter slows them down.Cons:Foot traffic slows — fewer casual buyers touring.Weather can kill curb appeal depending on your market (gray skies, snow, etc.).People mentally check out around Thanksgiving through New Year, so marketing has to work harder.If you finish rehab by end of November, I’d list right away.

Sooooo many sleepless nights...

By the way, just noticed that the days on Zillow reset after I added some pictures last night. 

You'll likely be buying older properties with potentially riskier tenants and things like theft of AC units or gunshots at night and things like that.   

They’ve done the math, and the returns make sense.California’s lower rate doesn’t help much when sky-high prices, income tax, and regulation kill your cash flow.
