@John Underwood It's fabulous and 49 5 star reviews too!

And yes, some will obsess about every little amenity in a quest to get the best level of service for their money, some to the point they are taking advantage of you....who would not want a personal 5 star concierge to fix every little thing?

We value our 5 Stars and superhost status.- I've been told that the first 1-2 years with vacation homes in Orlando you can expect to break even or take a loss due to the amount of competition and lack of your property having any sort of track record.

I can only imagine how insane this must  sound to a guy from the lone star state.

@Nik MoushonYou are a rock star!

Bratenahl has some of that along with a lot of the Cleveland sports stars & execs.

That's a sure sign that the market isn't reacting well to sellers reaching for the stars. 

Before we got this far I produced quite a number of properties that I bought and sold in the last few years. unfortunately like has already been pointed ou I am dealing primarily with a paper collector and he can promise me the stars and not already have no real authority to fund a deal. 

The second place I owned here in Anchorage I was able to bring from a 1+ star energy rating to a 4+ star rating.  

Washer/Dryer in upstairs unit only. 5 star rated home, walls 18" thick.Summer months:Electric between $250-$350/monthFuel between $100-$150/month (60-100 gallons) when turned on, some months we just turn the boiler off (JUN-AUG)Water/Sewer free except septic maintenance. so far this has been $0 total, but I expect to maybe get it pumped just in case late this year (rough guess $300)Winter months:Electric between $350-$450 monthFuel varies greatly with temp, heaviest usage months, I've purchased 300 gallons per month at the extremes of -40 and below temps.Water/Sewer still no monthly actual cost, but I plan on about $25/month to save for annual maint.When I average out my fuel costs simply taking fuel expeditures divided by 12 months, I get approx. $200/month.
