In the end you always roll the dice on guests.I don't allow instant booking.

They force you to take instant bookings without any ability to screen guests.

I feel like this gives me an instant screenshot of every expense for each building so I know Building A paid $1800 for insurance, Building B paid $2100 for insurance and Building C paid $2400 for insurance as opposed to having one account and seeing Insurance was $6300.

I don't do instant booking and chat with each and every guest.

It's abiut touch and convenience = instant gratification and satisfaction.

Examples could include:Partnering with other investors to share risk.Using seller financing or lease options.Leveraging creative rehab techniques to save on costs.Negotiating with contractors in a unique way to reduce expenses.I’d love to hear any stories, tips, or approaches that helped you pull off a deal others might have instantly passed on.
