I hired Jenny Yi to design our latest STR in person, she demanded that I pay the full amount of her services upfront, $7,500, which I thought was strange as we are used to paying half upfront and half once it's completed, but proceeded anyway because a couple of people recommended her.

We are going to create a vibrant experience for our Guests!

None of us are as smart as we think we are when an investment goes right.Lastly, I'll borrow a thought from Morgan Housel - don't seek the investments with the best returns; seek the investments that will allow me to make an average return for the longest period of time.

We are also quick to complain and fire if we have to.

We eventually plan on adding more properties and its not whether we should or should not create an llc, I believe we are set on it.

In Portland for example we are not allowed to increase rent more than once in 12 months, and it must be less than 10% increase in "effective rent".
