Hi everyone,I’m looking for some guidance on improving the performance of our short-term rental, and I’d really appreciate your insights.

@Raghu GotHave you read any of the comments in this chain?

The answer to this will come down to comfort level, funds available, and strategy you are looking to implement. 

The mayor has been hot on out of state investors and poor property managers since his campaign. 

The importance of lowering expenses and increasing efficiency to maximize property income.

The property is livable, but I am account for a pretty significant turn in 4 - 7 years of paint, flooring, and any miscellaneous repairs that the inspector could have missed since it was occupied.

Can the agent provide comps?

I have 2 empty lots that I want to build 2 rental properties on in Decatur, AL, but there is not a lot of new construction in the area.

The rental had ratty furniture, a record player prominently featured in the marketing but it had no speakers, missing basics items in the kitchen, lots of drunks in the concrete hallways that reverberated right into the bedroom at 2am, a strong odor of urine outside, and more.We have super hosts in this forum that have hundreds of 5-star reviews and are masters of the craft, but I look at their rentals and see they don't have any artwork on the walls, decor is basic, they do nothing to make the guest feel welcome, etc.
