I just got a notice from the MD department of assessments & taxation that the value of my property will increase from 120k to 261k , spread out over 3 years equally.This is a ridiculous increase of 118%.

The increasing barrier to entry results in fewer new STR's coming available for sale, but also fewer options for guests to rent. 

But I’d also buy the $200 5 year warranty.My last/only stackable I bought last year was LG, the combined towers to try to reduce noise, increase ease of use, and presents higher end look.

The importance of lowering expenses and increasing efficiency to maximize property income.

With the COVID-era surge in home prices, rapid increases in mortgage rates, and rents not keeping pace, it really has gotten harder to make these deals work.

Could be a business decision based on keeping long-term high quality tenants rather than risk the costs on turnover. 

I've heard nothing but complaints from customers AND their franchise agents reegarding the quality of their 800-number service center. 

This is where you can significantly increase the value of the property by making improvements that attract quality tenants and justify a higher rental price.

As everyone is getting for the holidays to ramp up and the new year to turn, I want to give some insight into a simple thing that me and my team have been doing to increase our ROI by about 10-15% each month.  

Just sent them a rent increase notice every year.
