Is that analysis paralysis, or just having vivid memories of the last few recessions?

Memory foam mattresses, with one coil bed for traditionalists.

But if my memory serves me right, it was around $47K + closing costs. $700 rent and $16.5K of rehab.

You're going to run into this in most of the major STR markets because within the last 2 years we have seen a massive spike in available inventory.In order to compete with the competition now, hosts/owners/operators need to step up their game and be willing to invest in good quality furniture, memory foam mattresses, high quality linens, professional seasonal photography, etc.In the high desert, most visitors are looking for peace, quiet, privacy, and amazing scenery so this means stay away from purchasing homes in residential neighborhoods with neighbors on all sides.

Your post brought back a lot of memories.

There’s so much tied into it like family, memories and stuff like that.

Etc.For appliances, I try to buy during the big box usual sales...Memorial Day, Black Friday, July 4, whatever else they have.

I'm just honored that I was invited to participate in such a worthy cause... so thank you, @Jay Hinrichs for giving me the chance to contribute in some way to your vision and thanks to the rest of the team for all your hard work in getting this going.We did our best to launch this on Memorial Day but man is it tough to create a legitimate charity! 

Employers and industries are diverse: logistics (FedEx, Amazon), healthcare (Baptist Memorial, St Jude), other industries (Technicolor, International Paper).

It brings back so many painful memories of uncomfortable conversations at the dinner table, "why are we putting all of our money into these loser deals?"
