If you owned a store, and Person A wanted to buy a candy bar from you, but Person B behind them handed you the cash to buy the candy bar for them, would you then pay almost twice as much to keep Person B from making Person A's payment?

Really bad: dog poop on everywhere outside of porch.cigarette butts and ashes around pool(inside cage), patio, bathroom, garage; To stop the internet, the cable behind Spectrum box was damaged when we can't see anything wrong in front; No food or drinking signs in bedrooms but throw candy covers under beds and behind night stands... 

Its definitely pretty easy process to get a pre-approval from a mortgage lender - there are quite a few that hand them out like candy

Besides, Americans have got Candy Crush and Angry Birds to play.

@Scott Crowley wow, thank you so much for the in-depth response.

I can legally pass referral fees out like they are candy to any licensee (They never have to show a house or put up a sign, pay for MLS access or join a board, just be licensed by the state to practice RE).

Biggest things are:Ensuring the place is actually clean before the guest arrivesMaking sure all consumables are stocked up: TP, paper towels, soaps, shampoosMaking sure all remotes are in the right place and not lost.Basic cooking needs is a big one people have asked about in previous airbnbs I have managed, i.e mixing bowls, measuring cups etc.Other wise there are some things that arent "needed" but can sure go a long way, such as leaving a $5-6 bottle of wine or some candy for your guests to enjoy, or things such as gift cards to some local place nearby.

I'm not sending holiday cards and candy. 

@Kevin Sobilo, @Bob Stevens, @Scott Crowley, @Malkia RaThank you for all of your responses.

. $350,000 at a 15-16% (projected) cap rate with room to expand the net a few ways (storage units, coin laundry, coin laundry detergent dispenser, delete the cable that is included in their rent *never heard of that one*, possibly a soda and candy machine in the laundry area since there is no convenience stores nearby etc); With all of these changes I'm hoping to push it to a 18-19% cap rate.
