Of course long term price appreciation is always nice too. To own our dream vacation home some of us must offset as much cost as possible by maximizing rental revenue. Renting By Owner is the BEST way to do so. Renting your vacation home By Owner enables you to keep 100% of the rental revenue generated vs. paying a traditional property manager a 40 - 50 percent commission. With Book by Owner inc. you will also have a fixed management expense and complete control of miscellaneous expenses. Partnering with Book by Owner makes owning and affording your dream vacation home a reality.
