This could include checking on pipes to make sure they haven't frozen in sub-zero temps, walking the property to make sure the cleaner is doing their job correctly, running a package over in-between guests, or running an item over to a guest that may have ended up not working after their arrival...like a coffee pot.

Also, an appraiser was sent to my house over the summer and briefly walked the property so I don't think AI was used for this reassessment value.I have an informal meeting scheduled for next week w/ the appraisal company for more information how they arrived at the value and I requested a copy of the property record card from the town as well.

It is not required they document how they arrived at the determination, but its a good idea to do it anyway, in case the transaction is challenged.The SAFE Act differs from state to state, so I apologize that I cannot offer any advice for you on that. 

Unless you give up some of that conflicting criteria, I fear you'll be stuck in analysis paralysis forever, waiting for that perfect opportunity and it's never likely to arrive. 

A welcome basket with starter coffee, toiletries, and snacks if they arrive late or have hungry kids.Our properties are on the larger size for our small town (sleeping 9-10 each) so we have board games and one even as a game room for kids with air hockey, ping pong, kids toys since we attract family groups.We've had requests for a hot tub so that would be the next addition.

Sometimes nurses who have recently arrived are in hotels and would love to make the move to a furnished home.

The SOW no becomes the "roadmap" to arrive at the goal.

I always worry about some new legislation arriving and just impacting all investment real estate.

Our plan is to include something like "Feel free to send your working email and phone number with us to our team so that we can better coordinate for any emergency during your stay" in our message asking for their estimated time of arrival.
