Before committing to paying off the property, analyze whether there are ways to optimize revenue, such as better marketing, adjusting pricing, or upgrading the property to attract higher-end guests.Return on Capital: If you pay off the mortgage, the “return” is essentially the 7% interest you’re saving.

Quote from @Shawn Questa: A few times I've reached out to Cash Buyers and they would tell me that they are a part of an Investment Group and that they are ready to quickly Close Deals would be happy to work with me.Later I would come to find out that they are actually a Group of Wholesalers, like me.I guess I would prefer to Work directly with the Investor, Cash Buyer or Flipper. 

Since companies have a limited lifespan (10–18 years on average), cities must attract new businesses to maintain job opportunities.Factors Companies Consider:Low Operating Costs: States with lower property taxes and insurance costs.Low Crime Rates: High-crime cities deter businesses and tenants alike.Natural Disaster Risks: Avoid areas prone to disasters, as recovery can take years, impacting your rental income.City Size and InfrastructureFocus on cities with metro populations over 1 million.

Close to a cool little town, close to an area attraction, etc....Also do a search here and see how to screen guests, in addition to what the hosting sites do.... like no last minute bookings, no short stays....

Problem with these is 1) they won't appreciate as quickly as those closer to the city and 2) it's a whole different tenant base, usually with a lot more management.

Hey Jacklyn, I am going to shoot you a message real quick about connecting to talk some more about this

For more bookings, consider promoting on social media or offering last-minute deals.Regarding ticket partnerships, local attractions or smaller groups might be more flexible than larger platforms like Xplorie.

Build a system that attracts the right audience.
