STR income will always be dependent on who I managing the property, how nice the finishes and furnishings are, and the actual location of a property within the given city.With my STR in Destin, numbers are more or less the same as last year, perhaps down just a hair. 

$35 plus tax per day cleaning and $22 plus tax per day resort feeOR 2. $150 plus tax Clean up fee at check out and $22 plus tax per day resort feePRIVATE OWNERS: $100 per day resort fee up to 2 people, $50 each additional person.

@Owen Dashner thanks for the kind words, the "grey hair" generation such as yourself has been instrumental in my progress! 

By the way, the tenant should be charged for this as part of "cleaning and repairs." 

- Having minor maintenance taken care of at no cost - Regular cleanings and maintenance so small issues don't become big issues- A hands off tenant who never bothers the landlord- A property maintained in new condition because it's in the tenant's interestI used to do primarily rental arbitrage but shifted to STR/MTR property management.

I appreciate you thoroughness in the matter but we will handle everything as far as that is concerned and give your buyer a clean title at closing."

Look back to world's fair in the 60's, countless hair-brained crazy head-in-the-cloud's ideas of true creativity that foster into real innovations.

I'm keen to connect with fellow STR owners in the area to gather insights on the ease of finding cleaning services and associated running costs.

In the example below, it shows my "Vrbo commission" is 5% and their "payment processing fee" is 3%, so they take a total of 8% (of the nightly rate + cleaning fee + pet fee). 

This eliminates the requirement for a new down payment since you are refinancing the existing debt.Lenders typically require:A copy of the owner-financing agreement.Proof of on-time payments (6–12 months).What to Do:Find lenders that offer rate-and-term refinancing for owner-financed properties (portfolio lenders and DSCR lenders often do this).Maintain a clean payment history.”
