For example, if every lake cabin within 20 miles of yours listed on Airbnb seems super rustic and dated and "northwoodsy" (for lack of a better term), is there an opportunity for you to skew more modern in your STR design/style to help capture bookings with guests who are looking for that kind of aesthetic?

The company that I've hired to do my direct mail does that very similar method with an envelope close to that size with a customized design on it.

When a tenant moves out, transfer the deposit back to Checking so it's ready to apply towards expenses or refund the Tenant.If you end up with excess funds in the Checking account, I recommend you transfer it to a third account designated explicitly for future investments.

Over the years, I've gained invaluable insights from this incredible community, and I'm eager to contribute and give back.As the founder of Data Led Designs, I specialize in business intelligence and interior design, focusing on leveraging detailed data to inform STR investment decisions across the US.

I learned about Bigger Pockets as a new agent but never really did much to engage with the BP community.

Here are my options as I see them.1) Build up a separate capex reserve fundI have about 13k in savings and 25k in Roth IRA funds which I can withdraw tax free as a backup, but maybe I should build up a separate capex account since I don't have a designated one.2) Purchase another 2-4 familyI could use my 25k Roth funds as down payment on a 5th property that cash flows around $500/month and look to do a BRRRR.

It is easy to get distracted, but where you focus the most attention will get results. 5) It sounds like you want to live a life by design.

I also enjoy designing people's homes mainly friends and family and I love renovation projects!
