@Eric P.We let our guests know that we accept direct bookings in several ways: post-stay text and email follow-up, post cards and business cards displayed in all our properties, giving each property a unique name and promoting it on social media and elsewhere so guests can do a quick Google search on our property name and we appear everywhere.Increasingly, we are seeing even some first-time guests seeing our property name on the big listing sites, then finding us with a Google search and booking directly on their first stay.

It means that not only is it rare, it’s unique and genuine.

I’m in a bit of a unique situation, so I was just exploring my options.

This was unique situation but...If you were my friend I probably wouldn't have let you do it like this IDK really...unless I was there;) I am simply sharing my story real quick, which was a valuable lesson to me. 

I have one potential tenant who wants 3 out of the 4 offices and a few other possibilities lined up who might be interested in the 4th.Here are some factors to the decision:My ultimate goal is to buy and hold properties for a long period of time so that once they are paid off, this will be my retirement income (I'm currently 35).While I have a positive cashflow on my first property, I don't have a lot saved up at this point that I could put towards a downpayment for the second property.I talked to a banker who, based on my current finances, would finance 100% of the property, 5 or 10 year loan, 4.5%, amortized either 20 or 25 years.So...from my perspective that looks like $0 down other than closing costs, and tenants lined up who are interested in the office.One problem is that given the asking price, and what the monthly mortgage + operating costs would be, the rents for the 4 offices would be 20-25% higher than the market rate.The potential tenant who is interested in the 3 offices is willing to pay that because there are some unique characteristics that they are specifically looking for that would be hard to find somewhere else.Let's say that tenant is willing to sign a 5 year lease initially.

Hi guys,I’m looking for a condo under $50K in Houston, TX preferably with owner financing and I have 10% down at $5K My situation is unique. 

I have a (not unique) thesis that Portland is a great place to keep investing and buy & holding and am just not sure my thoughts on the outlying parts.

It is a small, unique center catering specifically to specialty food / craft beer / wine tenants. 

I am newly self employed after leaving my w-2 job and benefits to flip houses and dive into multi family. Due to circumstances I ended up making this move sooner than I planned so long story short I now need to utiliz...

But, Indy is unique in that it's very much street to street and not all properties in the same zip code fall into the same class.
