Showing up in your work clothes helps. 

Drive crap cars, wear 2nd hand clothes.

If you're driving for dollars you really don't NEED anything as you're not making contact, just gathering info to send mailers (or sending them on the spot from your phone if using deal machine, maybe they'll give me a free month for the plug :p)In the back end: have a branding package developed, get business cards made, brand your clothing, get a website (I think this is a #1 priority), etc but all of this should take a back seat to activity, activity, activity.

My last home had cloth wiring in it so we got the seller to rewire the home. 

Is it fair to wear designer clothes if the tenant is wearing outdated stuff from goodwill ?

What I'd like when staying at STRs:A dresser for my clothes. 

I had to make sure they used drop clothes and cleaned up their drips but that the cost of getting a discount.

Broken glass, blocked entrances to rooms, clothing, toys and old furniture everywhere.

Bring your lunch, don't eat out and cook at home, drive a cheaper car, buy your clothes at a thrift shop or yard sale, make your own coffee instead of stopping for a cup, make sure you're not paying interest on consumer credit, etc etc.

I've had luxury cars, I lived in big houses, I stayed at the best 4/5-star hotels and went to fantastic restaurants, I wore nice clothings and traveled to some of the most exotic and expensive destinations in the World.
