My thought is there are cultural influences at play here

Those pace report numbers are definitely something to celebrate.

Tennessee (Nashville, Memphis): Music, culture and a tax-friendly scene attract lots of renters.Hope this helps, Alice!

These people, in my humble opinion, used their low tier celebrity or the craziness of the real estate market to sucker people in.

Some common ones that come to mind in addition to a hot tub are a cedar sauna (gotta lean into that Minnesota sauna culture - check out Cedar and Stone out of Duluth for some really cool sauna ideas), snow shoes or cross country skis, or even just a nice outdoor firepit area with tons of firewood (you could also include complementary s'mores supplies for every reservation).  

Remember to celebrate your milestones, no matter how small, and continue to learn and adapt as you navigate the ever-evolving real estate landscape.

In our culture, the idea of fast food and convenience is everywhere so what seems "easier" could actually be disguised to harm you healthwise.By just taking out some time in the day to plan and prepare for a healthier lifestyle will do wonders in the long run.

Celebrate small victories along the way and continually set new goals to keep yourself motivated.
