Giving 80% of work and turnover to repair companies and handymen I trust, with the other minor maintenance ( sprinkle system condition, air filter checks, exterior inspection for wear ) done my self.   

Even a good over the air antenna would be nice to be able to catch local news during our stay. 

It was a hot mess.I like Dave Donnett and Mike Hass.

From the living room, step out onto the large deck and soak in the beautiful mountain views and fresh air; a great way to unwind at the end of the day!

If you have gas heat, gas hot water heater, gas range, gas dryer, 100 amps is usually enough.

My girlfriend and I are interested in buying into the upper Michigan STR markets (Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Bay Harbor, etc), hoping we can take advantage of the hot vacation rental market up there in the summers and the popular ski slopes for the winters. 

It’s a bit hot at the moment but there are still good deals available on occasion.

Biggest dollar savings would be in reduced hot water consumption and lower gas bill.Yes I use water saving shower heads.

Have both an air conditioner and a dehumidifier system. 

As an owner is it better to a) install mini splits or  b) make renter supply their own air conditioner.
