Also it would mean I get a different tenant pool for example travel medical professionals, displaced people due to insurance claims, digital nomads, etc and I really want to expand my knowledge outside of long term tenants and challenge myself to have a diverse portfolio of real estate! 

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!

I would think they would.I was just thinking after seeing someone one the news who had their life savings in Florida STR's.I think it is important to diversity and not have all income producing properties in one place especially when it is prone to a certain type of potential destructive weather. 

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Average rent in this area might be $1100-$1300/month if you have a nice property but this one is outdated so you would probably get $950/month.
