Should I provide my guests with bottled water or a Brita water filter or leave it up to the guests to bring their own water?

Then again this would also mean that I'd need to build a small team, and I'd need everyone to perform whereas they're bringing it all in one.Another big thing here is the risk - as I said above I have a fairly pessimistic view about the economy in the next couple of years..

This would end speculation and bring you a lot of credibility.Please post a deal that meets the criteria you claim you have "tons of examples" of. 

The rental is currently cash negative and our thought is by converting the unused storage unit it would bring cash flow into the positive.

The FF rates in my zipcode are higher than I expected and their quality is less than what I'm bringing online! 

Kind of a advertisement and asking for help on how to take your business from you.What do you bring to the table?

Please reach out to us through our website and we'll be happy to help you further there.

If you think about it in any industry less transparency and more friction in the transaction will increase fees/commission vs reducing them.I like the idea as an investor of having different agents, a team of agents maybe 3-4 bringing me deals, but I think less of that will happen now as all will have to have you sign some kind of agreement up front. 

Like mentioned it's also beneficial to keep up to date with what's happening in the area your STR is located, and make sure the decision makers are aware of hosts and what they bring to the community.
