Before you charge anything, reach out and get your discounts. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Luckily since I have an integrated account I charge the guests so VRBO cannot refund them :)

Or, better yet, have them go to Home Depot and pick everything up, then have the pro desk call you for the charge.

I'm not familiar with your market but the faster you can start paying your own mortgage rather than someone else's you're one step closer to the long-term goal of financial freedom. 

I’ve looked at other markets but nothing I have found yet compares in appreciation and to a lesser degree the amount in rent that I can charge.

This has led to the amount of rent we can charge going down.Is anyone else experiencing this?

While these alternatives may come with higher interest rates, the flexibility they offer such as faster closings and more lenient terms often outweighs the upfront costs, especially in fast-moving markets.For example, hard money loans can give you the ability to close quickly on distressed properties, which traditional banks may take too long to approve.

This is a very rare offering from what I can tell (based on my research), and these features in conjunction with the amenities my building offers (you name it we have it) and secured garage parking available (extra $), I am allowed to charge a premium for my rental.
