About 15 years ago, I spent about $60,000 at each property changing all the beams and installed 600 lineal feet of ceramic tile for one balcony and all aluminum flooring on another.

My husband and I would take turns meeting the Airbnb guests and letting them into the property and I started to notice a pattern.

Research shows that brain patterns activated when going through an activity (and completing a goal) are the same as those activated by visualizing the activity and goal.

So I'm in a bit of a holding pattern.

This shows me a pattern and can also help a tenant explain their story of their score.  

Where are you buying your luxury vinyl tile?

It's building with bricks windows, flooring, tiles, and location.

Yes it was at the time twice as expensive as a garbage dumpster but they would drop off the container you could remove the tiles from the exterior of your house and close the dumpster up and then they’d come pick it up and take it away.

I have some good relationships with handymen in certain fields (tiling for example). 

I am struck by the difference between what a lot of the people writing here did/are doing and the common pattern we see people new to real estate so frequently ask about here on BP (but also locally for me here, in Allegheny County where the 'Burgh is, median home value $214K).
