Asked my guys what they wanted for dinner, if Chinese was okay.  

No cable, no subscriptions, don't go out for dinner and drinks.

I ate lunch and dinner in my 4Runner looking out my windows just to see how the dynamics changed from 2pm compared to late in evening.  

Hi Christian,If you want to live a high end middle class lifestyle off of your wages you will save less.A brand new Lexus, and a tablecloth dinner out for you and the Mrs. with wine and all the fixings every Friday and a maid once a week will eat up a lot of what you could save.Cutting your lifestyle down to the basics for a while will let you sock more away.Good Luck! 

If there are junior riders involved (any rider under 18) the parents will plan and see who can go down and be the barn mom, responsible for getting everyone to and from, making sure everyone eats dinner, does their homework and laundry, etc. sometimes parents will takes turns and one will do the first two weeks and then tag out and another parent will come in.

One suggestion is to get the tenants movie tickets or a gift certificate for dinner, and show the property when they are out of the house for the activity. 

Converted to a 7 bedroom Short Term Rental with small wedding/rehearsal dinner venue in Barn.

My final comment on Carei is that we should meet for breakfast before one of the days or dinner afterwords.

I spend my time in the exhibitor's area networking – and getting out for breakfasts and dinners with vendors and other investors. 

My perspective is this: at the end of the day, has my dinner or vacation been interrupted by my STR’s?
