If we're all being honest (after having interacted with Clayton in this process), it is indisputable that Clayton abides by the "continuous improvement" principle: while one may never reach the point of perfection, that's no reason to settle for "good enough" but instead to constantly take a step back to find the areas in need of improvement and to implement improvements that move the experience closer and closer to the ever-elusive "perfect" state.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we understand that such adjustments can be unsettling.The reason for our decision was this: Due to economic conditions our investments suspended and/or delayed distributions, and out of an abundance of caution we chose to act expeditiously and with conviction to convert everyone so that the temporary storm can be weathered and everyone comes out the other side.I understand that this might not be immediately apparent, but we decided to implement these changes after careful consideration and analysis to ensure the long-term stability and sustainability of our business, which we believe will ultimately benefit all our investors.We fully recognize that you might have additional questions, and we are more than willing to address them in the coming weeks.Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

@Ryan Leake thanks for sharing helpful tips.Steps 4 and 5 for "boosting ratings" is why I've designed an auto-mated post-stay review intercept survey.

@Lucas Schlund not seeing oversaturation in Metro Detroit, but there is some up in the Traverse City area - which implemented STR controls.Yes, it's always a good idea to buy an STR property that you can at least break-even if you have to turn into an LTR. 

Totally worth it to cover any gaps.For managing it all, a Property Management System (PMS) could save you a ton of time by syncing calendars, automating messaging, and handling bookings.

Would love to learn how you guys are automating some of your tasks.

You're best off continuing what is currently being implemented and then making adjustments once you have a better grasp on the building.

Countless masses are implementing ai calling it their business "innovation" but no, did they make the ai?

Build out a nurture campaign in the CRM that will automate tasks and tracking.
