Limited resources in target rich environments

[Theresa578]

Hey y'all. I am Theresa and treading water in rapidly changing environment. 

We own acres in Eagle Pass. TX, the number one destination in the U.S. for intended immigrants to seek refuge in America. 52% of current Border Patrol encounters currently occur in Eagle Pass. 

This has brought a massive influx of agents/ officers/ police from other regions of the U.S. who are stationed here temporarily. Hundreds of people, into a town of less than 50,000.

We are out of hotel space. RV parks are full. National Guard live here by the hundreds, on cots, in tents, with worse conditions in Texas than soldiers endure in the Middle East.

I am an officer of Homeland Security trying to help a community achieve balance. I need to adapt/ react to a situation where people are trying to pay $300 a night for Motel 6, when rooms are available, which is rare.

Border Patrol agents are moving out of their homes, back to their parents, to rent their houses on AirBnB. In 2 years, we went from less than 5 listings to over 100.

I have some space. I have some resources. What I lack is technology and know how. My laptop crashed yesterday, and I'm eyeballs deep in debt, so must fix, not replace. Sending laptop out in this desert wasteland doesn't promise fast return.

I need a volunteer to help me set up our listing. We have 5 RV sites and 3 cabins. Specifically, I need help loading pictures and landing on the virtual map.

Also, can we advertise RVs? There are none listed in this town.

I'm 50, with a full time job, 70 acres to maintain, and have 3 teen boys--14, 15, and 16-- who originated from Texas foster care. I cashed in my retirement savings to build infrastructure. 

Who can help? I'm pretty low maintenance,  but have to get posted soon.

Thanks, Theresa .

You have 100 listing and you can't  afford to replace a laptop - are you having a laugh ??!? 😁

if you want help to set up new listings and have a large scale property management company why would you expect anyone to volunteer their time for free? 

advertise on a local host group for a co-host who will do this for a fee @Theresa578

@Helen3  I took it to mean that her community had 100 Airbnb listings, not that she owned them herself.

But I agree that if you're asking for services to help you make profit, you need to pay people for them. @Theresa578 I recommend that you pay someone in your local community to be your Co-host. That gives them access to help edit your listing(s), load photos, and do any other hosting tasks you want to delegate, while leaving you sole access to the payouts.

And yes you can rent stationary RVs.

I think I'm correct in the number of listing @Theresa578  said she had "In 2 years, we went from less than 5 listings to over 100." @Anonymous  but you are right it is ambigious. 

What's strange is that on her profile it says she has zero listing.

@Theresa578 if you have 100 Airbnb's in your area then there might be a local Facebook group for Airbnb hosts. I am sure one of them, for a cut of your booking revenue, will be willing to act as your co-host effectively doing all the computer work for you.
