.-- Try free TV or something else worth 25-50% of one month of rent.-- Or, what we do is offer the free rent AFTER & ONLY if they pay their first 3 months of rent on time to earn it.4) Lower the rent 5% every 2-4 weeks until activity picks up.5) Understand this is the worst time of year to find tenants.-- Starts picking back up end of February when this tenant pool starts getting their income tax refunds and aren't broke anymore.6) Section 8: where is the property being advertised?

I recommend you find a way to give these animals away before you lose control and end up on a reality TV show.

Just be the absolute best host you can be for the first year -- communicate clearly and quickly, make sure cleaning is top-notch, make sure all amenities work (hot tub is hot, TV remotes have batteries, etc. etc.)

In NYC, Booking.com runs nonstop TV commercials.

To avoid the risk management/insurance that comes with tenants' wood fire use:I'm thinking to seal the chimney cap on roof and run a cord putting an electric Infrared heater fireplace in there, so they can still open the glass and get heat and watch TV over the mantle, but can't burn anything or have any flame.

Stealing stuff out of an Airbnb is similar to unloading the TV, bed and mini fridge from the Marriot.

In our 4-bedroom, we have one in every room because 1) the need for it in bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room is obvious and 2) living room / bedrooms, it's helpful (and easy) for people with allergies (kleenex), snacking in front of the tv, etc.

Instead of wasting 20 hours a week on your phone or TV, work a part-time job to accelerate paying down the debt and saving. 

It requires a Roku TV and WiFi.
