    Not to hijack the thread but can someone elaborate on the fee breakdowns for VBRO? What percent are you paying for their service? Cleaning fee? Etc. At the end of it all what percent would you say your profiting on an average weekend?
    I’m interested in buying a short term rental / vacation home preferably in the Padre Island area, just don’t understand why there is 100s for sale if it’s as easy as people make it out to be.

      Just fyi the tax man will be looking you up to increase your value to charge business and personal property taxes.

      This is happening up on the Frio River area.

      Good luck.

        90% goes to me through Evolve. They put my listing on VRBO and all the others also.

          Here is a link to my place. They take the pics, develop the page, deal with the renters and payment and post your home on all the major rental sites. Easy

            Its a bay house in Galveston. I do really use it when most people will want to use it.

            I figure it could be a win. but not sure of the details...
            Is your place on the West End and right on the bay? I'd be interested to rent if so. I'm always down there.

                  I just got done setting up our vrbo. Best way to go is to pay yearly membership for 499 if not you will be paying 5% on each listing. The cleaning fees are set by owner and paid by renter. Was live for about 5 minutes when I got my first booking so that was exciting.

                      www.lakeforklodge.com is our VRBO. Seven bedrooms, seven baths on Lake Fork. Mods banned me years ago for offering discounts to TBH members, said I was advertising. I guess times have changed.

                        Powderburner did you end up listing with Evolve? I just started with Evolve, how long does it usually take to get things rolling for those of you using them?
