if you're calling them to offer to list it, say that. 

But you're going to have to offer something in return.  

Hey Elizabeth - I'd factor in about $10k to get a padsplit up and running when it comes to furnishing which would include washer / dryer, additional fridge, bedding/desks, common area furnishings if you want to offer a little better experience.I'm only familiar with ATL - I think accounting for 1 move in / 1 move out per month is a good conservative assumption here.$8kish / year or so on routine and reactive maintenance combined which should include your cleanings, lawn care, maintenance calls ect. 12% per month of gross rents should be a good estimate if you want to look at it like that!

I'd have to offer 20 to 30 percent under asking for most of the properties to work out for me.

However, if you’re requesting in-depth consultations like landscaping costs or detailed property assessments, it’s fair to offer compensation for their time.My advice: Start by finding an agent who understands STR investments in Joshua Tree.

I’ll cover a few of those for you as well as try to offer some advice.

I am an also an agent that niches specifically to STR investment properties, so happy to offer detailed insight.I love investing in short term rentals here - I have one that does over $85k gross a year, one that does over $75k gross a year.

I have four a way to offer investors New Construction Investment properties that solve for all the issues that investors face today.  

As a thank you for your time and insights, I’d like to offer you the first 6 months for free once we launch.

I believe they need to be in close proximity to where you live.But what will you have to offer them?
