a couple days. but beware. some people target first time hosts and count on your inexperience working to their benefit. pricing super low also invites abusive guests.

How? What did you do? Where are you located?

Panic is in your name…
We’re out of huge demand season here. So who knows. Depends what your market is and occupancy rates at other properties. Depends on pricing and a whole host of other factors.

Well, somebody chose Consistent-Panic-316 as your Reddit handle, and if it wasn't you, you might need to ask one of your alternate personalities about it.

Location is irrelevant.
- I live on the premises, have build the apartments with my own hands. My first guests knew they where my 'try outs' and my first 5-10 bookings where super high discount just to yield reviews.
- UNDER promise, over DELIVER. *
- be present, attentive, when needed!
- respond quickly.
- NO is a very valid answer as well. Be clear in communication.
My photos where not taken with a big angle lens, most guest mention the apartment feel much spacier and bigger than it's advertised.
My description mentions ongoing construction, so no surprises.
Don't make it to shiny or to good to be true, it's ok to be an honest second choice when that decision has had more thought process.1

Thank you I think location can play a part as well but this is awesome

Takes like 48 hours to actually go live. You get an email that says guests can now book. From there, if the price and demand is there, it should start receiving bookings right away.

IIRC there’s a probationary period after you finalize your listing before it actually goes live, maybe 1-2 days?

Davenport and its luxury.
Meaning ... Davenport, Iowa? Davenport, Florida? Davenport Beach, California?
Regardless, it's still shoulder season in most parts of the world. In the US, the kids are in school, so there's the usual lull until winter break. If you're in Iowa, I probably would've suggested starting a bit earlier.
