Stop listening to people that tell you to stay "consistent". 

The City worker called while I was in transit and asked me if I would accept payment and let the tenant stay...

—yep, that’s probably one of Ben Wolff’s landscape hotels, stealing your attention and vacation dreams.I recently caught up with Ben, co-founder of Onera and Oasi, about what makes his unique stays so successful, and one thing stood out to me: It’s all about creating that “wow” factor.

The quick good/bad of Section 8:- S8 tenants tend to be rougher on the property (but not always)- Paperwork/inspections/etc. can be burdensome and tough to navigate (especially initially)- People often think FMR rates are guarantee rental rates but that's not the case- Usually the rent isn't 100% subsidized and a lot of people don't realize this- S8 tenants tend to stay a lot longer than cash tenants- Obviously, the guaranteed rent portionOverall, I'm neutral on the program.
