I am curious what kind of vessel you had, I've lived in more boats than houses
Anyone an AirBNB landlord?

- Start date
1975 Uniflite 42 double cab. Sturdy bitch, same hull that the Navy used for PT boats. Fire suppressant in the epoxy made the fiberglass bubble. Ugly, too expensive to run with dual 4 barrel 454s, but floated well enough. Electrical system looked like something people who wore boat shoes fucked with for 40 years.
That some pretty good size for a single dude. I spent a year in a 30' catalina and I was happy to have some room after that dwelling.
@gonefirefightin interestingly, I actually have had better experiences with AirBnb listings by the homeowners than by property management companies. I've probably stayed in 70+ AirBnbs now, and nearly all of the problem experiences I've had (poor communication, bad cleaning, unexpected issues) were with property companies. Always seems to me like the owners I've rented from have cared a little more.
Deal directly with the general public they said, it will be easy they said...
Interesting, must be a west coast or even regional thing.
there’s no retirement from warlord though.
us slumlords have a saying. “Even a monkey can run a property management company fir a month”. See it’s all smooth sailing at first and many problems take month to develop.
you could hire a company to take care of it. Then over the next year learn who to use, see what you need, copy or steal their stuff, hire the cleaners cousin,(don’t sleep with her). Then shit can the company and take over.
Looks like I'll have to pay this fee:

$25 per advertised head sleeping capacity. That'd be 10 heads for this house: 4 bedrooms + bed in basement.
and potential deductions to take. Some will not apply to this definitely < 50% rented place for sure.

But I'll definitely take advantage of the ones that I can, including mileage (will start habit of taking photos of odometer before and after eligible trips). Short list:
- mileage
- rental fees
- won't qualify for section 179
- furniture/appliances/linens
- property tax
- insurance
- marketplace and management fees
- home office for my time spent here thinking about this!
- utility bills
- mortgage interest
Will have to keep track of dates and expenses very carefully as apparently prorated by time rented.

I'm enjoying the hell over the knowledge that I'm on toshi's ignore list
@Toshi
For simplicity and reconciliation purposes I would recommend you start a fresh checking account now for allocation and tax purposes along with its own credit card. Once you muddy up your personal finances with your rentals it will get expensive and labor intensive when it comes to accounting time and reconciliations. I use this one and only account for all things rental and it simplifies the whole process especially when handing the statements and spreadsheets over.

An update: signed on with Vacasa. $1k signup bonus, which is nice and will offset the linen program fee almost entirely. On-boarding clearly delayed until after close + week or two to get some minor work done (two leaky faucets, one unhooked vent duct, repainting one interior wall).
Also made up a list of what we need to stock the place per their requirements. Some weird stuff (ironing board, potato masher) but many useful items I may have forgotten about otherwise.

Sounds like you found a pretty reputable firm to manage your pad. That list is bomber, nice work. I threw a keyboard, guitar and spotting scope/telescope on a tripod in my pads and they rave about it on the reviews.
What about the free wieners?
A rubber fist would be a nice touch.
Of course with a nice paper sleeve with "sanitized for your safety" printed on it.
I see what you did there.....
Need a match?
I got matches.
Just let me know.
