Listing photos were terrible, tenant vetting was lackadaisical, checks were sent to wrong addresses, tennants weren't properly vetted, charges for "mulch" and landscaping were charged but never physically carried out.

We have done this for over a year now and this strategy has gone really well.We are very experienced in the STR space and understand that getting bookings is multi-faceted (ie. listing photos, reviews, amenities, PRICING, description, seasonality, etc).

2) How are your listing photos and marketing description?

@Victor ValleI have been investing in your great country and the Riviera Maya for a few years now and I respectfully disagree with your comparison between Tulum and Playa del Carmen.

Go in and secure the place and take photos of everything so you have documentation of the move out condition (though those are only good if you have move in photos).you can sue for the balance of the rent if you can't get it rented for Jan, but honestly it is a waste of money as you will never see it and pay more to your lawyer.

I respect your many years of experience Jay but want to bring some perspective from the other side of the table.In a corporate office which is running 10, 20 or even 50 projects at once (depending on the firm size), what is the benefit for the Architect to drop their other projects to jump on yours quicker?

@Marian Smith@Lena TruongI have bought notes from them and the individual who runs AHP is well respected.

Each firm has a sister company, Doss Docs and Lightning Docs, respectively. 

Quote from @Roger Garner:Multiple estimates and get some photos of their work too.
