Some people hate debt and it reduces their quality of life to have it (for some all debt, for some only if that debt is not attached to an appreciating asset).

Sometimes it is better to pay more for quick, quality work then trying to save a few bucks.

Those little upgrades can make a big difference in attracting quality tenants.

Some owners don't want to put out tens of thousands more to outfit a high quality STR. 

Today the real need is quality lead lists of actual motivated, stressed sellers!!!!!!!   

There are different opinions about how to interview and locate a quality PM.

If you charge below market rate, you will attract low-quality renters who are more likely to trash the property and make your life miserable.

The noise from upstairs is annoying so next time I'd do more testing of the quality of soundproofing in the ceiling (older home so wasn't as good).

The rent is similar, but with much higher quality tenants and less vacancy risk.
