@Ray Realdine,We use cozy.co for our application/screening, and personally-- I think the extra hoops to have to go online helps weed out serious vs. non-serious buyers.   

@Zachary Ray ehat does that mean?

@Ray Gaulding, Such an awesome story. 

Thanks Ray, I've been doing the same.

@Stephen Ray I will definitely contact the billing dept again.

Quote from @Leo Ray: @Zihan Huang this type of question ("how should I start?")

Quote from @Leo RayRay Ray: @David Gauger one challenge with a rent estimator like air dna is that their data is often based on bookings/vacancies that occurred months ago, and the market today is COMPLETELY different than it was several months ago.Specifically, there has been recent data showing that the STR market is completely over-saturated with supply, and most indicators show that we're in recession--which means that demand will likely decrease substantially (or is already decreasing)...it sounds like a perfect storm of excess supply and diminishing demand.

Quote from @Leo Ray: @Don Johnson  In general, the East side of SLC usually has the best appreciation for single family homes (neighborhoods like Sugarhouse, the Aves, East Millcreek, and anything along the East bench usually has good appreciation...but they also tend to be expensive properties to buy...).  ...everyone wants to live in those areas, but there's a finite number of houses to go around, and very few new single family homes are being built in those areas, so it's a fairly straightforward issue of low supply and high demand.However, I think I saw a stat recently that showed that some West side areas like Taylorsville had the highest appreciation in SLC last year (even higher than the East side neighborhoods)--my theory is that the East side has become so expensive, that most "normal" buyers (that is, people with fairly typical incomes) cannot afford the East side anymore, and are therefore being pushed toward West side areas like Taylorsville, driving up prices in those areas.... that's just my hunch (I don't have any data to back it up). 

Use analysis, use honor, use transparency, and use logic.Forget cold calling, driving for dollars and do what the big boys do that are successful and credible, like Elon musk and teslaLike ToyotaApple, Nike, Coca-Cola, Ray ban.. they have WEBSITES!

Thanks Ray.
