They have 4.8 stars out of almost 1000 reviews, and the BBB gives them an A+ rating but they require 4 to 6 thousand dollars up front to work with them.

Below are some actionable steps I plan to take after identifying a market:- find a rock star agent by referral and/or calling brokerages and asking to connect with their top producing agents- find a rock star contractor by referral and/or yelp- have control over construction by setting per diems to incentivize contractor to finish the project on time, within budget, and with good quality- leverage my rock star agent's time to check up on the construction process (checks and balances)- hire independent handymen/inspectors to check up on the construction process for a flat fee (checks and balances) There's competition everywhere, you won't escape that in any market. 

I think most hosts give 5 stars unless there is a serious issue so even a 4 star is a red flag for me that I would check into. 

Educating yourself on how to offer 5-star remote management would be ideal as well!

I looked into this at more than one occasion, because Milwaukee has such an old housing stock, everything is 60-120 years old.Most of the new apartments we see are 4 and 5 star developments with very high rents, this allows to offset the high cost of construction a little better.

They luckily took it in stride (and the grocery store is 10-minutes away) and still left us a 5-star review.But now, I'm wondering what can be simplified and what are more sustainable practices in the long run.

We have many hundreds of 5 star reviews (see the full set for yourself  https://www.trustpilot.com/review/nomadlease.com) that demonstrate this.Thanks for all the discussion and let me know if I can answer any questions!

It never ceases to amaze us how at one for example, we peak at $400/night with solid 5 star reviews.

How It All BeganSo, picture this: it’s 2024, and I’m 26 years old, stepping into South Florida like I’m starring in my own “rags-to-riches” reality show.

That it can impact your 5 star review more than what you can charge on a daily rate.
