Yes, it can feel like "wasted" money on months where rent is auto-paid and there is no maintenance to be done, but when you get a bad tenant or two or when deferred maintenance finally catches up to you, they certainly earn their keep.At your scale, you might be able to get a bulk discount with a good PM, especially if you can show how well your current systems are working and how they'd be needed less than usual.

I see your next availability is mid August, so I would expect to see more inquiries in the next 2 weeks.The low amount of direct inquiries from Furnished Finder is normal as well, from our experience with 25 properties.I don't recommend the discount for first 3 bookings if you're doing MTR, that can easily be an entire year of bookings discounted!

I've actually reached out to a few insurance folks and I can't really get a straight answer.1.

More specifically, if I MOVE the stairs (we are talking about a 9-12 step straight up stair case), do I need to reinforce any walls?

I have equally found that there is something magical about IN-PERSON MEETUPS...when I left my traditional W2 for a PropTech startup I led our grass-roots business development by going to every possible Chicago Meetup for about 2 YEARS STRAIGHT!

My degree may not be my passion, but I know it will provide an income that I can leverage into something else (I've already started working).Currently, I am living in a home owned by a relative, and my rent is impressively discounted.

I'm not seeing any discounts now vs what there was in the past.Want a discount....do much of the work yourself....don't waste my time. 

Some do straight 5% for 5 yearsYou can ask if there is a 3/2/1% option you can buy down, I have even seen 0 prepay buydown but no ones bought it because it’s quite expensive. 

I'm not talking about flat-rate or justifiable scenarios...just straight up lying to the client. 

Adjust rates seasonally and consider offering discounts for longer stays.Guest Communication: Clear and prompt communication is key to positive reviews.
