Wondering if you offer Netflix (or any other streaming service) for free or do you just have it available to the renter?

They can offer tailored strategies to help manage your rentals and carpentry business effectively.

Instead of jumping on the opportunity, the rep decided to wait two days so he could bundle the appointment with another one he had nearby.

If someone instead offered 35k to assume the loan and deed to the property, what are the hurdles to that deal?  

Have you ever seen rents actually go lower (I'd assume this would only happen if occupancy dropped significantly, but that seems like something that could happen in a recession).Also a BAM specific question/concern - from what I understand they are based in Indiana, and I see in their current open offering one of the properties is in Indiana (great) but I'm wondering why the other property is in Arkansas? 

--reach out and thank them upon getting the booking and ask if they have any questions--send a "Welcome" email or automated message during the week prior to arrival--reach out the day after arrival to ask how everything was the first night and ask if there is anything that the property needs--reach out at the end of the stay (that morning or within 24 hours) and ask how everything was, anything to improve, anything to add to the house and then offer an incentive for returning guests.My 2 cents,Mike Absolutely stay in your place as Mike said.You will see things the cleaners will never let you know about.We stayed in our PF will putting up the Christmas decorations and found a cracked plastic shelf in the fridge. 

Unsolicited phone call offering to buy a condo I own 500 miles away in Texas panhandle.  

Don't be afraid to look at other markets since you are not married some states offer better purchase to cash flow ratios.States like Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida etc.   

While I own quite a few rental units already, I thought condos might be a good option to gift to my kids when they turn 18, offering them a safe introduction to property ownership without too much risk.However, my challenge with investment condos is that the cash flow always seems terrible.

Start with a standard offer, and write a contingency into it for electricity, all the below ground utilities, and then work your way to zoning, permitting etc.
