Do not believe the lie that you can adequately manage your vacation rental with your iPhone and some far east "customer service agents" to take the occasional phone call.

Meeting is normally on Thursday nights, occasionally on Tuesdays, and some full day Saturday seminars.

@Diaz Principe Nicolas I use Pricelabs to set general pricing parameters, build in a discount during the slow season, then tweak it occasionally according to the specific area.

Don,  occasionally I will go to one of the guru set up meetings here in PDX which are usually a local hotel room 5 minutes from my house.

Even if you occasionally get some college kids who wouldn't mind, that won't result in a steady stream of renters.

Occasionally, if the winner fails to pay and you were the second-highest bidder, you will be expected to make the purchase. 

If you figure out how much you would need to have passively to just get by bare minimum, and still get the occasional coffee or take out then you can figure out what you would need to buy for property to achieve this.

There could be occasional episodes focused on people who don't own rental properties.

I have occasionally provided a rent credit for a good tenant to help them with the purchase of a lawn mower or weed wacker.

I see stuff like this occasionally and always seems like way more to the story.
