You can calculate the difference between a 1-bed and 2-bed STR on AirDnD...then ask yourself what feels light? 

Think light fixtures, plumbing valves and plumbing fixtures.That being said, I always schedule delivery for when items are roughly going to be needed.  

They often have brand new couches, chairs, lights, etc etc for a deep discount!  

See here:  Federal judge gives New Orleans City Council green light on short-term rental limitsIt has been rather difficult to get deals to pencil in our area, to say the least...

Investors are not the only ones that have taken notice of increased STR supply, the majority of the cities, counties or jurisdictions I service have recently implemented new or revised regulations for obtaining and operating a vacation rental throughout the Oregon Coast and area of coastal California. 

If you hire a manager you should have already understood their screening process, and then allow them to implement it.

BTW, I did eventually see the light with leverage but not as fast as I should have. 

Of the 4 REI profits, I still think there's a little light with principal reduction and appreciation, not sure on tax benefits. 

Pictures could be taken at certain angles, with certain lighting, and taken very selectively. 

Are there any that you implemented and had success with?
