The dated cabins typically need more help than say brand new construction which now are coming with pools and other amenities built in. 

For a more general philosophy on hospitality, especially if you are going into the higher end STR space I would recommend Four Seasons: The Story of a Business Philosophy by Isadore Sharp about the founding and development of the Four Seasons brand. 

Yup I bought two brand new Tesla’s on line :)

I am brand new here and I look forward to learning from the best in the business. 

If you want to do STR, you want to get as close to the PATH or light rail as possible.

Something that didn’t need a complete overhaul but something that I would do light cosmetic cleanup in a good area.Reason being is that let’s say I bought a 5 unit building for 500k and put $100k down.Let’s assume that building has $100k in annual gross rents.

Brand new 1 Trip cargo containers are going dirt cheap right now. 

Since them, several other national flat fee brands have set up shop in Metro Detroit.

There's also free services for tenants to pay their rent online which include some light accounting features.

yup sure worked for bud light.
