As investors, we have the natural tendency to increase revenues and increase our bottom line. One of the ways we can do that in the short-term rental world is by increasing our exposure. In other words, increasing the number of people that can see, view, and potentially book our properties. This is exactly where online travel agencies (OTA’s) come into play. They spend 100’s of millions of dollars every year on marketing so they can successfully link the properties (us) and the potential guests together.

We’ll discuss:
How to decide if you should increase your exposure
Getting started and the setup
Should you use them or not?

We currently only have one short term rental. But I would like to use another company to list our STR. We currently only use Airbnb. Which one would you suggest?

[thaipham]

I am not sure about the unpaid reservation but the guest expectation is very true what you said. Guests expected to have the same quality as hotel for a much lower price :)

I agree with you, diversifying is a good idea, otherwise Airbnb will just continue to come up with even more draconian rules usually in favor of guests.

Stay well clear it's an awful company to do business with, problems caused by them are completely ignored and they pursue you for money, it got so bad that from an initial problem they dealt with it so badly that within five days I had terminated my partner contract. You've been warned don't partner with them.

I'm looking for alternatives to Airbnb at the moment, due to not having a permit yet to do STR, I'm working on that with the city. In the meantime, I'm looking to try another site I could make some money on. I was thinking of bookings.. if you have any thoughts let me know. I can't set the home up as a business & get homestead exemption. It is my primary residence. I also have a mortgage on it. It's a duplex.

Prob a noob question, how do you manage for someone to tidy the place up after each stay?

[whoismattkohn]

yoooo dude! didn't know you had a YouTube - awesome info and vid! Booking has been pretty bad - multiple scam attempts and guests not paying... I think we give this another month to make a final decision... I am working on automated solutions. @Anatru and i are managing 18 listings in MDE right now. c u soon!

[yolandemartin]

I'am a private host, and Booking didn't pay me for sereral reservations, if someone know how to solve the probleme, please help me.
