He hates recordkeeping, but keeps his log religiously because he knows it will save income tax on $70-80,000 every year.

Since I’ve stuck to this rule religiously, our tenants have paid on time from day 1.

I see it as two different people: beach vacationers vs the everybody else (business, festivals).Zoning is super tricky.

Weeks later is near inexcusable.We've had a few times when prices were off by a huge margin due to a software integration issue (priced at 10% of market value for a Festival booking) when someone jumped on the price, and instant booked, when the price was literally only live a few hours. 

Fall foliage, Christmas lights, and springtime festivals attract visitors even in the off-season, making Branson an excellent place for investors seeking consistent rental income.2.

My thinking is that the market will be significantly lower in the winter (Ottawa has a lot of festivals & tourists in the summer).

The lower the score the more training I am forced to do to insure my tenants do not cause any issues but my screening is far more extensive than simply the credit score.I do the personal background as well as a personal interview usually taking a minimum of a hour to analyse attitude, beliefs (non religious), authority issues, etc. etc.

I'll be preaching the same advice forever; secure employment, save religiously, build your credit, limit unnecessary debt, get pre-approved, and house hack your first deal.

We know we may not be able to use house during busy times for BNB; festivals, etc...and we are good with that.

Friends, family, schoolmates, religious friends, frat brothers, sports buddies, people from your neighborhood, teachers, and anyone you do business with now, barber, preacher, car mechanic, professors, etc.
