One of my bigger internal conflicts was that I've had to use some cheaper maintenance, rehab, appliance, service, etc. options over the years to save money when I was starting out, but I would do my best to facilitate the work to make sure quality & service for my tenants were still good.At the same time sending out christmas gifts, painting murals at my expense for the community, taking 6 days of personal days at my job to assist a tenant through permits/licenses/court hearings, coordinating with attorneys and consultants to help a tenant navigate his business, baby/newborn gifts, and numerous other activities over the years to just make sure I'm there for my tenants whether or not they asked.

Anyway...I've spoke with a number of other AirBnB and VRBO "landlords" and have found the following - During the summer/fall months, you can expect 130-150+ per night on a 3/1.5 in town on weekends, and possibly more around Thanksgiving/Christmas/NYE.  

First of all, Merry Christmas!  

These are not big balance accounts, but I will make contributions on their birthdays and at Christmas.  

You told them to leave, they probably aren't going to given it is Christmas but you told them to.   

The semester just ended so I have much more time now over Christmas break.

or i remember the one tenant, who yelled at me "what kind of @sshole evicts before christmas?!"...

Also your ROIs skyrocket because the actual cash investment in each property is minimal....Best of luck, Merry Christmas!

They get out there and they mow their lawns, they have the brick repointed when the mortar wears out, they get guys up on their roofs to replace their shingle, they get on the municipality to redo the sidewalks, and they resolutely hang out their decorations for Halloween and Christmas every year (look for dedicated efforts block-by-block during the holidays).

Have a warm and wonderful Christmas!
