@Krystal Nydegger I get this request on occasion and my answer varies based on the situation.

I might even forgive a debt on occasion for a good tenant that is going through a personal struggle though I'll never donate to the united way.

We've had several occasions where we had a mother and four kids or two parents with three in a two bedroom without any issue.

It's the finest thing about this part of this country, and it has moved me to tears on occasion.

One of the challenges I find is that the OTA fee can be excessive for this long of a stay so, on occasion, I'll encourage them to book directly with me. 

Since I am remote to my rentals, I have my various repair resources I can reach out to that can fix things on occasion, and then I travel about 4-5 times per year myself check and repair items as needed.  

On occasion agents would get deals.

That's the rare occasion and billionaires can gamble like that but for the rest of us, it's best to diversify and get the growth from the stock market. 

I have contested my property taxes on numerous occasions and have not had as much luck as you. 

I’ve on occasion just called the seller if I could find a contact number and verify they know who I am and my interest in their property.
