After a few reviews, I started to keep all of my places rented and have achieved a 98% occupancy with monthly, nightly and weekly guests. Guestnest is a great platform, screens in quality using a provenvetting process like background and ID checks.  Guests book site unseen and I obtain 100% of the rental rate that I ask for.  I have nests in Tampa, Atlanta and Boston. - Paul

I started as a guest on Guestnest and then used the same account to set up my home as a rental nest when I travelled for my Pharma company. Everything is turn key and lets me earn while I travel for work." - Jason

3) "The reason I went with Guestnest was I was between jobs. I was in need of more income. Guestnest has a property management option.  I started working with Greg and Joe at Guestnest. Both were really professional. They helped me get listed with Guestnest. They helped me find an amazing professional for a month to month arrangement.  I would recommend the "ManagedNest" service if you want to earn money from a room or home but need to focus on your day job.  My first month paid for the service and the money I earn pays for my entire mortgage. Now I am setting up another nest" - Linda

4) "I would be happy to tell people about my story on Guestnest. It is short, sweet and successful. I set up a vacation rental and booked 9 of 12 possible weeks this past summer in Florida, Guestnest provided everything from photography, to leads to bookings. The verifications really save you time when deciding on the guest approval. Thank you again for assisting me." - Randy
