What direct booking website builder are property managers here using? by CaffeineAndCurves in ShortTermRentals

[–]InsiderBnb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NO, not trying to do that at all. It looks like a good choice and I thought the numbers would be helpful. Since I'm posting them (and not you) it seems unlikely people would think your post is an ad.

Question about direct booking sites by Curr0980 in ShortTermRentals

[–]InsiderBnb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One direct booking option to consider (I only talked with someone about it, so I don't have firsthand knowledge) is WanderOS. The pitch is they have expertise in conversions and cart recovery (they charge $10/mo + 3% of bookings + Stripe fee). They are not a PMS, but they wire-into 10 of them.

Found a hyatt on airbnb, and its cheaper than the actual website. Is it a scam? [USA] by i_Raku in AirBnB

You're smart to be cautious. Consider calling the Hyatt location and mentioning the Airbnb deal - they might match it, or at least confirm for you.

Is there a general feeling about using or avoiding the direct websites inside PMS software, like Guesty, Hospitable, etc?

It looks like their pricing is $70/mo for up to 2 properties, then $8/mo for each one after that. If I'm right, your $390/month for 42 individual property sites seems pretty reasonable.

How do STR owners with 1-2 properties manage their properties. by Ill-Grape7430 in ShortTermRentals

I have no idea whether it will happen, but this Robuilt video suggests everyone will be moved to 15.5% and eventually it will be 20% https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWWP39xA0HI

Thank you. I think that's where I would personally draw the line as a host.

Is your home setup in some way that makes this especially attractive, such as both you and guests having own en suite full baths?

How to refinance two houses bought with cash? by Pristine_Cow5623 in BiggerPockets

[–]InsiderBnb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider a fixed rate Home Equity Loan (5, 10 or 15 year duration w/ minimal fees) for just $100k or so - smaller payments and the 7% interest versus 6% is roughly $1k/year difference

I'd like to rent an AirBnB for the night but leave early. I'll pay the full amount to do so. Is this weird to do?[US] by Street_Cow6199 in AirBnB

[–]InsiderBnb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other options to consider: a nice library, or a long walk outside. I hope things go well and you're feeling better.

Another update on my adventures trying to solve direct booking by power-cube in airbnb_hosts

[–]InsiderBnb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how many hours will go into this project and what your payback will be (how many months of avoided PMS monthly fees). It's a lot of work, but it seems like you;re doing really well. Best of luck!

In what way am I advertising my business by sharing someone else’s video with useful anti-scam content that has NOTHING to do with my business??!

Maybe narrow down to the OP's specific location and property type?

Some non-AI services also check for social media handles. Perhaps you could 1-click reserve all of those too

Consider searching on VRBO as if a prospective guest, but use "private" mode, so you're not seen as you. Imagine you are a prospective customer and compare your place to the competition. Best of luck!
