It will help a lot if you understand accounting and how the statements are actually generated.

Thompson, i actually invested in the ATM myself and did a tons of research before i invested in it comfortably.Three key take-aways from my independent research:1.

Many property managers tend to focus on physical occupancy rates, but what truly matters is the economic occupancy rates—the actual rent collected.

@Umesh Maharaj and @Wayne Sharum   I actually took the JBB course back in 2020. 

Be responsive, communicative, deliver on what you say you are going to deliver (e.g. photos are true representation of your properties, amenities reflect what you actually have).  

Listening to YouTube big shots that have great advice on professional ways to handle problematic guests ( most are great but everyone will get bad apples), staying at the property when you have an open window of time and actually get the guest experience (this is critical), and looking at your click thru and conversion rates to get a good baseline.There is way more work to running an STR than a LTR.

I was hoping that the tenant would reach out wanting to negotiate, since I only really want him out and don't think I'll actually get money from him. 

I'm actually planning to sell some of my SFH and move that money to the market.

If it is accrual, then when you actually make the payment does not matter.  

I expect a free estimate from a contrator who possibly would be doing the actual work.
