Like UBER/LYFT dropping taxi-cab fees by >50-75%, or pharmaceuticals coming off 17yr patent protection and costs dropping >90%, or de-reg, de-monopolization of energy in Texas etc on and on.The verdict/case has also generated enormous interest/buzz among the average public and interestingly a new found awareness that the commissions are entirely negotiable or even avoidable which when you read the 108 page summary report of the settlement, the hundreds of plaintiffs had no idea of and claimed they were lied to by their agents.

The short/mid/long - term strategy is a continuum with stability/energy being directly correlated to income, in my experience.

Both of these guys have so much energy and enthusiasm.

Also factor in your capital, time, energy, skills, and other resources.

It's saved me so much time and energy.

Each market will take a different type of "energy" to be successful. 

Their good intentions cost them a lot of time, money, energy, and stress.

Where I live the requirements are essentially 2 exits, ny state energy code for insulation (R21 or better) and it must be able to stay above 68 in the winter.

I like the pontoon boat rental idea as an add-on service for your STR - on decent-sized lakes, pontoon boat rentals can easily bring in $200-250 for a half day rental or $400-500 for a full day rental, so you could make a tidy little profit off of this kind of add-on amenity. 

I would rather have Remax manage my property and concentrate my energy on finding my next deal.
