During the slow season, do you personally focus on getting more rentals, focus more on family/personal life, or do you do something else?

I'm a passive investor and these properties are in a different state than I reside in so I'm not there in person often. 

I just set up my vrbo account and still some finer details about planning the communication, cleaning service, maintenance persons, etc…

Again, this is a conversation to have with your accountant to ensure the benefits would outweigh the costs.Another misconception is that there is little value in a cost segregation study for properties that do not have a lot of personal property in them or very little interior build out, such as industrial warehouses.

What appears to be great "curb appeal" to one person might be overwhelming to another. 

It's an exciting journey that can offer both financial rewards and personal satisfaction.

Yea this is a long-term personal play more than a strict STR deal. 

This will increase the return above what can be obtained on a passive investment.The flipside of having the power to control everything is that it can be alot of work (and a full-time job if a person is putting in sweat equity).

The person who comes into money but not a lot of experience in real estate should be a little more cautious right now.So overall, I am not saying - do not buy, I am saying be careful.

I personally did a couple last year that I self furnished and self manage while working full time.
