Also, you need to budget for soft expenses.

You don't want constructive criticism, you want soft pedaling and easy tosses.

On an adjusted per-square-foot basis, prices in all regions showed greater growth rates, by 3.3% to 6.6%, as soft median list price growth in the South was driven by a larger inventory of affordable, smaller homes.

@Gulliver R. you may be including in supplies, but this category can include coffee, other beverages, condiments, paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, etc.

My soft skills and ability to communicate and strategize on the fly have increased in ways I didn't think possible for me.So yeah, 100% worth it if you can make it happen, but like anything else in life, you will only get out of it what you put it.

Start soft by letting them know they can go the easy way or the hard way. 

I do a lot of repairs and maintenance myself when I come down in the winter and during the quarters I make the trip, but here's just a sample of things I had to pay for in the last year:Pool screening: $985 (big hailstorm destroyed 13 screens)Irrigation repair: $394Irrigation repair #2: $230Palm trimming (twice: $200Pool light replacement: $950And all of that of course leaves out routine replacement of towels that get left at theme parks, sheets and pillowcases, busted blenders, and a host of other things I can't even think of right now. 

I can do a wet paper towel test afterwards and it comes up pristine, but I also have a dog so it doesn't last long :/

help ideals. the property is about 3000 soft the front side is currently done the back half is still a work in progress 

This month occupancy is a little soft, but it will pick up in the fall.
