IMO, the frugal would likely much prefer to grow their own fruits and vegetables, shop for raw quality ingredients, and invest a bit more time and money in their food in the short term to cook their own meals with quality ingredients in order to achieve the long term benefits of eating more healthy, while still saving money over going out to eat.

Maybe they cook stinky food or leave underwear laying around.

I will say this though, @Joey English doesn't know me from Adam's housecat, but I saw him speak at a REIA meeting with Bill Cook in Cartersville, and he is very knowledgeable.

@Josh Cook contractors are hard to find and often you need several since their workload will vary and they won't be available when you need them. 

Especially a messy cook. 

On the plus side- you’re clearly learning how the P&L of an STR works, which is a great step in the right direction that unfortunately many investors learn *after* they’ve made the purchaseAnother thing to note: don’t “cook the books” in your underwriting by undershooting cleaning expense (if using Airdna) .. you should be changing your ADR dynamically to boost occupancy in order to *maximize* revenue .. but this in effect “maximizes” cleaning fees as well ..

My only concern is tenancy laws in Cook County and vacancy risk with smaller acquisition targets. 

We noticed when they cook downstairs, the smell immediately fills our unit upstairs and is incredibly strong. 

Its all bad news and when i went there saturday the 68 yo woman was cleaning and cooking and organizing and everyone else just sitting around or playing with the baby.

Have you had the conversation about the collection/eviction process here in Cook County because it is crazy different then almost anywhere else in the country and I because of that we do approach things differently.
