From multiple discussions I've had and reading posts here, I think I also want to form a 5th LLC to act as a management company, so that I can have one business account and credit card to collect all rent and pay all the overhead and expenses (paying for meals, PO box, RE licensing fees, etc).  

I took a screen shot of the dollar cost of the airline ticket along with the point requirement, but not sure how this scenario works.I have family in these same towns, so I typically only deduct the plane fare (no hotels, gas, meals, etc.), since the business aspects are completed in a single day and I usually stay for a week.

You can atleast get the mongrel to lose their free meal ticket by turning him in 

or the shared kitchen.Someone steals someone's food, or cooks a meal leaving the area dirty?

Not to say there isn't still success to be had in those markets, but I'm seeing healthier numbers in less "hot" (but still very viable) STR markets these days. 

Seems like to me that everyone wants something for nothing nowadays and nobody is willing to put in the work or to pay the margin for someone else that is willing to do the work...Folks want to "own a monkey", play with the monkey, but not "carry the monkey" or clean it's S#@% when it does one heheI guess next time I go to McDonalds, I'll ask them for organic burger buns or where I can find them, I'll bring my own meat paddy and potatoes, get them to make a Big Mac meal for me and maybe I throw some change their way hahaHow about those analogies above... lolHave a great weekend guys and much success with your investing 🙏

Meal prep easy meals and get after it.

First, don’t fall for the “cheap” packaged foods or “cheap” meals at fast food places.

Meals eaten during setup for example. 2.

It feels like we have to plead for their business.To secure the assistance we needed, we've gone to great lengths, even treating contractors to meals.
