Ideally, I’d be buying and selling and potentially managing properties as a job, and be working the gardens and hobby farming, potentially attending farmers markets on weekends (we both love to create things).

Some banks can spread your funds around to multiple banks if you carry a balance over $250k and want to have all the necessary FDIC insurance…merry Christmas!

Wanted to gauge interest in having a weekend some time this summer where we all congregate in Wichita to talk shop and get to know each other and possibly do some work. 

Within 3 days they were on their way, the house was empty and very clean and we had it posted for rent the following weekend. 

Spend the weekend.

It's coming up on Christmas and people are busy.

--reach out and thank them upon getting the booking and ask if they have any questions--send a "Welcome" email or automated message during the week prior to arrival--reach out the day after arrival to ask how everything was the first night and ask if there is anything that the property needs--reach out at the end of the stay (that morning or within 24 hours) and ask how everything was, anything to improve, anything to add to the house and then offer an incentive for returning guests.My 2 cents,Mike Absolutely stay in your place as Mike said.You will see things the cleaners will never let you know about.We stayed in our PF will putting up the Christmas decorations and found a cracked plastic shelf in the fridge. 

You can even plan vacations that are written off if using the sandwich method by doing work on Friday and Monday for real estate and the weekend is there so you do vacation stuff so all lodging and travel can be written off. 

We are eight hours away from our property visiting family for Christmas and got a call that our rental has 3 feet of water in the basement.

This past weekend, the guests tripped the circuit breaker and neither the guest, host, or co-host knew how to locate and reset the breaker.
