Vacation Rental

[Rhonda C.]

Hello everyone,
I am buying a condo in the heart of Leavenworth to use as an income producing vacation rental. I have not closed on the property yet, but am already overwhelmed with what needs to be done!
1. bathroom bath/shower works, but looks terrible..
2. the kitchen is 1990 so appliances are tired.
3. Octoberfest, one of the 2 busiest times of the year is almost here ie highest $$/night of the year. Feb-May is DEAD
4. Almost forgot...A/C is the wall unit that you find in older hotels. This is not urgent, but wondering if anyone has ripped one out for something more asthetically pleasing?.
Do you recomm end that I remodel the shower (at the very least) or just give discounts to vacationers and communicate as to why, so I can at least realize profit right away? Or stop stressing about October and spend that time updating the place to be in shape for Nov?
Has anyone offered a less than stellar rental for the short term?
Thank you for your ideas
