Within a couple of months I had 3 deals, I was able to bring a portion of my debt down, and more importantly I was able to breathe again.I believe you can rapidly change your circumstances by implementing massive action in this business.

First, take a deep breath. 

It may be better to take a breathe, and move on to the next deal.

My feeling is that Mom and Pop breathe the home, while larger may have greater access to booking tools?

We opened every wall we could and finally allowed this home to breathe.

I know the Grant Cardones of the world think that is the best way, but sometimes it's better to learn from your mistakes on your own because you do not want to start having to deal with the stress of a partner breathing down your neck as you're just getting started in the game.

People like that don't breathe without consulting their lawyer or accountant (sometimes both!)

Higher rates and lower available credit on all my cards - ironically all but my Chase card - won't hold my breath :)

If something were to come along that actually made sense (and I'm not holding my breath) I'd be willing to move on it - I just don't see that happening, so I'm focusing my time and available resources on a different market segment (in the same area) that makes a lot more sense to me. 

I breathe a sigh of relief.
