I love your attitude that you're going to change the off-season expectations for your STR!

The top one percent makes about 250k or over so I guess you’d be upper class(cause that’s what’s important to you{shakes head})Attitude and value you bring are everythingAny shmuck can have a good year, get luck or win the lotto, I promise you anyone who has had money for a long enough time could careless about those kinds of people.

If they sense you don't care then I think that attitude would resonate with the way they manage.

I also don’t approve of the attitude these days with going for the lowest common denominator.

The credit cards are a perfect example too, bc you have 30 days to figure out how to cover a roof/hvac expense, which my attitude is to go generate income to fix the problem. safe to say, you put it into a stock mix, you can take a loan out from it if needed then?

I understand completely having to raise rent based on your financial needs (in the case of costs having gone up and previous owner not having raised them sooner), but based on what you said “this is why inheriting renters rarely works out” kind of seems like a my way or highway attitude which I guess is fine but landlord/tenant relationship goes both ways.

The only thing i had going into it was a good attitude and two fingers to cross.

Sure, you won't get anywhere if you have the attitude that you will fail. 

They do not work to address the attitude of tenants that have no self-respect and thus no respect for their neighbors if the absentee landlord does nothing to remedy the situation.

Positive mental attitude and all that.I have an old boss who owns a mail-order company.
