If you do rent to this person, don't act shocked when they fall behind or don't pay at all.

I was honestly shocked and horrified when you didn't just say something like "Yeah, Scott, I own the frigging building - I raised the capital, formed the entity, am responsible for operations, and plan to deliver the best investor experience (and great returns) that I am capable of for the investors who I've partnered with."

You might be shocked by the amount of toilet paper some people use for their "functions" and some of the fancier stuff does not disintegrate as easily.Personally, I cannot remember a single place I've ever stayed in my life - STR, hotel, whatever - that I can remember liking or disliking the toilet paper.

But when/if it happens it won't shock me 1 iota. 

Some investors have found that working with the right team even in challenging markets can be a pleasant and profitable venture.  

Right now you have a market where existing landlords have all these properties at cheap prices where they can afford to charge less for rent than new buyers and many don't want to shock their tenants by jumping rents by $400+ in one rental cycle... so we are gradually easing those tenants upwards each year.  

I know I put the work in already to get to this point, and though I've had the confidence or the manifestation knowing all along I could do it without a doubt, it still shocks me at times that I was able to do it by myself with zero guidance and just intuition and a cant fail attitude!

That's the beautiful part, working with just 20-odd clients can be a shocking $ volume.

My worse San Diego appreciation property appreciated $2700/month (I would be shocked if yours is worse than this).  

You’d be shocked by how little actual screening many PMC’s do!
