Hey,I was asked what a typical Gator Method deal looks like recently.Each Gator deal I do is different in some way, but here’s how a recent one played out.It was with someone who’d already found a property AND they’d got a buyer for it.I didn’t have to do ANY of that work.All they needed was the earnest money for the deal which is why they reached out to me.We talked on the phone and agreed on my rate for the investment.I then sent him the paperwork and wired the money.Simple.And the result?

I can tell they are both on top of their game.

--reach out and thank them upon getting the booking and ask if they have any questions--send a "Welcome" email or automated message during the week prior to arrival--reach out the day after arrival to ask how everything was the first night and ask if there is anything that the property needs--reach out at the end of the stay (that morning or within 24 hours) and ask how everything was, anything to improve, anything to add to the house and then offer an incentive for returning guests.My 2 cents,Mike Absolutely stay in your place as Mike said.You will see things the cleaners will never let you know about.We stayed in our PF will putting up the Christmas decorations and found a cracked plastic shelf in the fridge. 

You can always reach out to my property manager and talk with them about the comparisons.

If you need help analyzing any deals, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to guide you through it!

My girlfiend and I are looking in La Grange and Brookfield which is not quite as fast west as you, but my aunt lives in Wheaton so I am quite familiar with your area.What's your game plan over the next two years? 

You could certainly reach this demographic, but it could also cost you substantially more than the return.For the money, your best bet is probably a dedicated website for your property with the key words that you want to convey.

Remembering that conversation, I decided to reach out to him.
