I price my calendar higher for advance reservations. 

Aside from favorable ADR to purchase price ratios, I like markets where I can do an enemy analysis and see STRs with underwhelming interiors but have well-booked calendars.

Use a good calendar sync software to avoid double bookings and you should be set

One thing that I would recommend, is whoever you put in your rental, make the lease revolve around the Academic Calendar, starting in August or September.

always make offers below market value.ask can you help with financing, put request in your offer.delay settlement as long as possible'.ask for immediate possession.use contingencies and assignment clauses.Build in a automatic extension (you will always need more time). make sure that "time is not of the essence".use banking days, not calendar days.learn how to control and roll while in contract.ask for money back at settlement.ask seller to pay for home inspection. use a skinny contract offer, study and understand contract and creative clauses, they'll be your best friend and will make you millions!.

3) Lastly (and perhaps most simple/stupid), when does the 5 year rule start/end and is it based off of 5x365 days of the last day that the home was primary, or is it just in full calendar/tax years (ex. if last day was January 1st of 2010, the exemption would apply as long as the sale occurred before Dec 31 2014)Thanks!

When I'm having a down Disney travel month, like May when the kids aren't traveling, I am able to at least fill some of my calendar with long weekend stays for people that want to use the amenities. 

If you have already issued a 5-day notice (legally meaning after the grace period) for the same offence in a calendar WI has a tool called the 14-Day you can issue.
