Do you let the tenant supply and pay for their own internet or is it recommended to offer internet and charge the tenant a flat fee?

You would need to submit a material list to a local supply house, usually they require you to open an account and they ask for a TIN for a line of credit.

@Jayme B.One thing to keep in mind is the shifting supply and demand trends for STRs.

Hello @Chris Atkins,To achieve and maintain financial independence, only invest in cities that meet the following requirements.Significant and Sustained Population Growth: Rental rates follow the basic principle of supply and demand.

Over the last decade, Nashville has grown its hotel room supply by 52%, opening 20,000 rooms.

Generally - the depreciation on the structure, mortgage interest, property taxes, repairs & maintenance, insurance, property manager, utilities, vehicle expenses (mileage), professional fees (reports/CPA), home office (office supplies, percentage of utilities, continuing education).

Major employers like JP Morgan and AT&T are pushing for these policies as well, and specifically in the D.C. region, Amazon HQ2, the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority, and the Executive Branch of the government have required all employees to return to work 5 days a week at those locations.Fundamental Lack of Residential SupplyAnother interesting driver of demand is the fundamental lack of supply of housing stock due to the fallout effects of the 2008 housing crisis, slowdowns in housing construction during Covid-19 primarily in 2020, and a good amount of 2021 from supply chain issues, labor shortages, and rising construction costs.

Everywhere I turn all I see are pitches for affordable housing and the same (not so) compelling arguments regurgitated by syndicators, capital raisers, brokers etc. for the investment strategy....strong returns...lower volatility....supply (huh?)

The revenue manager is looking at the comp sets and adjusting based on the supply side. 

So I supply the locks, linen and towels.
