We have always strived from 280-300 nights per year per unit.  

I actually still am striving toward that goal with the formation of my holding company (The Murray Group).

I strive to meditate, affirm, visualize, exercise, read, and scribe daily.

Best of luck to all who are striving for this goal!

Life is too short to not strive for the highest quality of life. by the way I am in Ca and believe there are still deals to be found/created in my market.Good luck

Those left behind are striving to buy in better neighborhoods that would never support more than 3% to 5% return on investment.. if any cash flow at all.Now, today, financially broke inner ring suburbs and even Cleveland proper are killing rental owners with rental registration fees, violations, construction permits, vacancy permit fees, contractor registration fees, POS fees, POS violations, POS escrow requirements, etc. if this isn’t bad enough, the city just passed an ordinance requiring (investors only) homeowners to PROVE that their properties are “lead safe”, which requires a licensed certified registered lead inspector.

I put the following in my first message: "We strive for a 5 star review, please let us know if we are not living up to it!" 

Also remind them that they signed the lease in as-is condition, and while you strive to continually improve the property, you don't have direct plans to fix XYZ, however it is in your long term plan... stuff like that, it acknowledges their complains, and I'm sure you do plan on doing more stuff, just not right now.    

Remember the goal you are striving towards and the key reasons why you are cold calling.

Also congrats on getting the deal done and striving forward when you hit those bumps and had to figure out new strategies.
