We have a big place so it is families and groups.I do ask guests before booking if they are celebrating any special occasions and I will add some extra things to the welcome box that fits if I can.

There's no one size fits all of course, but generally the STR/MTR/LTR mix in a multi-family unit can be challenging because the way renters utilize these properties is so different.

These methods include: Detailed Engineering Cost ApproachDetailed Engineering Cost Estimate ApproachSurvey or Letter ApproachResidual Estimation ApproachSampling or Modeling ApproachExperience or “Rule of Thumb” ApproachIt’s important to understand the differences between the approaches including which one best fits your property and the reliability of each approach.DETAILED ENGINEERING COST APPROACHThis approach compiles the costs from construction and accounting reports to build a report.

This will be for my excellent service as a landlord.Just like a restaurant does when you have a party of 8 or more - they add a mandatory tip.Doubt there will be any laws against this, at least initially.

The idea of “giving back” by providing the kind of experience you’ve appreciated as a traveler is such a fantastic approach and will definitely resonate with renters, especially healthcare professionals.Single-family homes and cabins sound like a perfect fit for what you’re envisioning.

You may be able to find a home that fits your needs. 

You did an excellent job summarizing your experience.

Get knowledge, follow experienced people, and leverage wisely.My Take:If you have two houses, excellent credit, and motivation to build wealth, you can learn to manage your money responsibly.Use HELOC, credit cards, and business credit funding to leverage your cash and buy properties faster.

@Drew Sygit, thank you for the excellent reply!
