@Alicia Marks. 1) bought a house lakefront 30k under asking thanks to the Covid saw that my neighbor was renting every day and so bought a cabin one for 107k before it hit the market through my realtor whls 1st buyer got cold feet because the rental was not doing well …..I added my flair. Renovated it and got professional Picts Lived in it for 2 weeks to find out what’s good in the house and it had made me 3x the amount i thought. 82k this is in year 1 and do the house will Pay itself in 1.5 year. Insane. Doing this again now.

Right location; right type of house and matching it with the right customer (this is the key to the high ROI). I am a professional at improving the right things st the right price. Will be renovating the lake house and 1 more by next year.

I am in contract for a house and have 1 Airbnb already where I want to add hand drawn maps of the house so they know the map on how they house is set up. Agents use that when selling the house.

I also want one map creating the location of the house and where all things they Can do relatively to the house. Within a few miles radios.

What is that job call? Where can I find thst ? What’s the pricing ?

Hi there is a shortage in the poconos of contractors. Does anyone know a good one or a location in NJ or near PA (driving from NY) where I can pick up 2-3 day workers.

I have my local day workers from Bensonhurst in Brooklyn. So if I can’t fond closer I will get it from there. But makes it easier for me if they are closer.

Ideally the work will be for2-3 people for 2-3 weeks worth of work. ?

I need to move furniture.

remove carpet and update floor.

Fix a few things.

Remove tile

Update bath

Paint.

@John Teachout

. It combines knowledge from Operations, technology and Finance with Phsycology aka hummable behavior. Sometimes called Chance Manager. Agile Transformation specialist or coach. Or Continuous Process Improvement Manager.

Process improvement involves the business practice of identifying, analyzing and improving existing business processes to optimize performance, meet best practice standards or simply improve quality and the user experience for customers and end-users.

The main role of a process improvement manager is to provide an objective assessment of how well a business operates and give actionable tips to refine all aspects of the business. They strive to make a business's processes easier, faster, better quality and more affordable.

Its amazing work.

I love hosting and I am a certified process improver. Do people need Airbnb consultants? What do they want to know? What would make it easier to get started?

and what is the hourly rate you have seen people charge ? Or that anyone would pay?
