So bye-bye all the Brrr's and Multi's and what not, we need SIMPLE, right, a good simple SOLID base-hit, right. 

If it's currently an STR they should be able to provide you with the p/l statement from prior years so you can see gross rents, operating expenses, average daily rates and occupancy levels.

I'm especially interested in hearing about how you've made a PMS geared more toward STRs work with MTR billing and leasing.I do remote operations support for an MTR/LTR company in Denver and am assisting with our tech stack build out. 

I will say that even though you get the boost from VRBO and AirBNB, the first year of operation is usually lean as you build up the rep.Offering a discount on the stay is a way to be more attractive but don't go crazy.

I’m in Ohio, so I can purchase a property with $40k cash out, invest $10k in repairs, and rent for a couple hundred above the monthly operating costs.

Keep it simple, stay consistent, and success will follow.

She locked herself out and was it a keyed lock or a simple passage door lock? 

I host a group for midterm rental operators and I had 2 people in last week's meeting essentially say the same thing.

Each should be able to operate on its own.

I recommend a simple spreadsheet to check your math and it will make it simple to adjust each year.End the complaints.
