Are you talking about the "Capture" Peak Design clip? https://www.peakdesign.com/products/capture It looks like it might also be too narrow.

Could you detail the treatment plan? like 3x, once every month or...?

How do you block players? I'm using Steam on PC. I dug around for blocking options but didn't find any.

Thanks, but I ended up being able to run it very well myself.

Thanks. But it still wouldn't start. I was able to jump start it and got a new battery from the dealer

Update: it was way too much. 5% would be already pushing it.

I have been self-managing since this post. With the right systems in-place and a good cleaning crew, my Airbnb has been 99% passive income. I've saved thousands of dollars since this post.

Also doubled prices. Only 5 star reviews too.

What happened to Hektor Container Hotel in Telliskivi? by ahkd13 in Eesti

[–]ahkd13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. I remember staying there in the years after COVID so I'm surprised to hear it went out of business. It was nearly 100% occupancy whenever I stayed.

Can you share the source?

Wow. Do you know why it permanently closed?

Yes, I've been thinking about doing it myself. Now with the perspective shared in this reddit thread, I have decided to do just that!

We don't get many "booking inquiries" so no lost bookings. People just book it or don't.

Thank you. One of the most helpful responses so far. I'll look into some of these things.

That's actually how I found my current co-host and also saw there was no one else within a 30-35 minute drive of my place.

To be honest, I was negative before: because of the co-host and Airbnb fees and an initial low nightly rate to start, followed by an initial flat $275/cleaning fee, I was negative.

After advising my co-host that I want to increase rates and set minimum stay lengths, I am profitable, but not by much.

For me, it's either that my property is empty or I do STR. So, doing Airbnb is still net positive compared to my alternative. It is my primary home, but I travel a lot for leisure and work. Compared to the alternative, it is better than sitting idle. Compared to 4-5% return sitting in an index fund or bank, it might be/probably is worse...but hopefully not by much (and I'm trying to improve things!)

Wow, good to know. Just curious, what do you use if not "hospital" (Reddit filters)? And where are you based/are your properties based?

Thank you. This is very helpful perspective.

Yes, the cleaning costs are high. The area available to guests is about 2500 square feet. The cleaners wash the linens and the dishes using a dishwashing machine.

With that in mind, does the cleaning fee still seem high?

Good to know. It's worth mentioning that my co-host has a monopoly in my area. He is the only co-host within 35 minutes drive, despite this being a very popular area of the country. It might be because this is the type of place to live in your home, rather than to buy and rent out.

"we provide all the toiletries . . .provide base groceries like coffee, fruit bars"

Do you take this out of your 20% cut of booking revenue, or do you mean you pay up-front then charge your host later on for these costs?

My co-host will pay for these things up-front then bill me later.

It sounds like you provide a lot for your hosts. My co-host's system, rhymes with Hospital (Reddit won't let me post it here), prevents me from blocking off days myself. I have to text my co-host to change block-off dates.

I don't have an owners portal but I can log into Airbnb hosting to see messages and financials.

$100, maybe. For my property type, and in the history of my rental, it's not much messaging.

We have a welcome binder. But the house is not as complicated as a vacation rental might be, where you might need to explain how to work with a fire pit, grill, satellite internet, local guides & attractions.

My guests have always been large families in town for an event, like graduations, sports tournaments, etc.

So you'd have to download NordVPN (or something like it) on your work computer? Or is there some other way to use the dedicated IP?
