There wasn't as much systemization so we were always dealing with odd requests and we did what you did, tried to make the best of it and offer something fair.I think as operators we have become too scared of reviews (but they do totally tank you) and the companies should be able to review the back chats to determine if the review was valid.

In times like these, empathy and understanding are important.

DM me if you want to chat more. 

@Brandon WongHello, I put together a spreadsheet model a while ago for calculating IRRs on rental investments, as an attempt to capture comparable returns by discounting future cash flows (in REI you also hear about cash-on-cash, which is typically at a point in time), and it sounded like you are having a related predicament.

Thanks  Hi Md, yes, happy to chat! 

Happy to chat more.

I created BrightInvestor and would be happy to chat about how we go beyond just market research but also help you find the properties well - with free owner phone numbers and sales comps. 

Please PM me, would love to chat.

Happy to chat @Tyler Hall - STR regulations differ from area to area, but for the most part you shouldnt have a hard time finding a place you could live in now and STR down the road.

Let's chat!
