This inventory eventually is slowing appreciation.

I am usually close to budget but this one is way over (tens of thousands, probably $40k over) and is not a flip and not being refinanced (due to where rates are versus my ~3% current rate) so the recovery has to be slow over the hold.  

The town keeps growing but new-build is slow.

Seems like most of the attorney has their own way of doing things.Drew Sygit, progress is slow, because to do major renovations, you need permits. 

Everything going forward is slow.

Summer bookings and inquiries are ridiculously slow, noticeably less inquiries. 

It's the "easy button" in that it requires very little work, but it will cost you more than it's worth and scaling will be slow, if at all.My recommendations:1.

There may also be a requirement to give 30, 60, or 90 day notice before the relationship can be canceled.So your friend may want to consider canceling right before or during a slow period so that they don't have too many existing bookings "owned" by the agent.

Slow stable controlled growth of a portfolio lowers the risk as a broken furnace is spread across a greater cash flow base.  

You figure out what it TAKES to become succesful and then use what you have to get what it takes, to become succesful.If it requires 40 hours a day, $3000/week on marketing, decent clothing, proper english, a decent car and knowledge about the niche... well figure out a way to slow down time to fit 40 hours in a day because that is what it takes!
