Occasionally I catch some cleanliness issued that I am not satisfied with which I believe is due to variability in attention to detail between people on their crew, or lack of training and familiarity with my property.I've seen mentions of the value of post cleaning pictures from hosts on other forums.

Plus, they are watching their co-workers one at a time move this way and they want to "jump on the train" and join them by owning property here. 

The hard and the fun part is training my team there in the proper processes from planting all the way through selling.  

My name is Rebecca and my husband, Nick Knox III and I have run Captain Save a Home LLC, Brew City REI Club, Brew City REI Training Cafe and Wisconsin Contractor and Handyman Club based out of Milwaukee, WI for over a decade.

All of my landlord clients I train to self-manage.

Beacon you would want to be near the train and it's priced higher than the Catstkills - same with Hudson.

I disagree--there are more tough times ahead, but as stated above there is light at the end of the tunnel and this time it's not a train. 

For example, Clearwater FL (famous beach and Phillies Spring Training) does have a 30 day minimum on rentals, making it essentially impossible to have an investment perform well. 

Plane, Train, or Automobile and meet in person.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.
