Four things you can use right now, free. Two tell you where you stand, one is me looking at your actual listing, and one is a guide you keep. None of them require a call first.

STR Readiness Score

A short set of questions on your plan: budget, financing, market, concept, and who's going to run it. You get a score and, more usefully, a list of the specific gaps in your plan before you start making offers. Most people find at least one thing they hadn't costed.

Buying or already own one

Self-manage, or hire a property manager?

Eight questions on how much work your property and guest mix actually generate, and how much of it you can cover yourself. You get a recommendation, what to look for in a co-host or manager, the vendor list you need either way, and a straight read on what each route costs in margin and in hours.

Free listing audit

Send me your Airbnb or VRBO link and I'll run it through the same test I use on my own top-rated stay: your first three photos, the title, what your description promises in the first two lines, and whether a guest can tell in five seconds who the place is for. You get it back privately, in writing. No pitch attached.
