I wanted to bring in more houses, I wanted to take pictures with the guys and our remodeled houses like trophies and make media to bring in more sales, perhaps joint venture with other investors and grow a really strong powerhouse of a team and take on tough, challenging places and really beautify an old neighborhood.

I had a similar off-season challenge and decided to allow pets ( with restrictions and clear house rules) and I gave a 30% discount to try & attract  snowbirds ( I’m in FL) - my calendar filled up for a few  months with a few pet owner bookings and  2 separate 45 night bookings,  did all this on pricelabs & airbnb -best of luck !
