Quote from @Jevon Shaw: Cashflowing with no payments would be so nice.

Its REALLY nice to have a 2nd heat source when the main heat source has trouble because sometimes it can take a few days to resolve and with backup heat it is never an emergency!

You left the place nice and clean helped put a new tenant in it, and he doesn't want to give back deposit.

So with all that, I'm thinking to open booking now for next summer with a 7 day minimum, see how it books out, and by late winter/spring I can reduce it to a 3 day min to fill any remaining weekends, and then work on filling mid-week vacancies as summer approaches.We were leaning towards Fri-Fri, but Michael I like your suggestion about the Mon-Mon option, which could be nice because renters would have the weekend to travel and then begin their stay on a Monday, then they would end their stay on an upnote with a long weekend...But with either Fri-Fri or Mon-Mon renters would probably need to take 6 days off work...Sunday-Sunday might actually be better because renters would only need 5 days off.  

I treat him better than I treat my GF, that's the secret LOL.if you are nice to contractor that's all you need.

It would be nice to have my back-burner website cooking away a few deals though.

Hi Noe, nice to connect with another fellow investor.

Hey Michael, nice to connect.

Average rent in this area might be $1100-$1300/month if you have a nice property but this one is outdated so you would probably get $950/month.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.
