I think we all know about the importance of black out curtains and a comfortable bed and linens, but after buying the wrong product, I have learned how important a good vacuum is to many travelers.

For CY25 I realistically think we'll be somewhat in the black with about ~3-6% ROI/COC now that much of the initial rehab is settling down and we have our systems in place.  

While the "narrative" is good, the devil is in the details, and I see this as more of a black-box than an open system.We work with a couple other larger operators besides BAM, but in short my only complaint is the detail in the reporting, especially in tough times.

Let's grab a coffee.These went on sale during black Friday and figured to share: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Arcade1Up/page/72239652-B330-4...

Laundry room wall painted black is odd.

Its like going shopping on black friday for something you do not need and saying "i saved $100", when its actually - you spent $400.Could that money be better invested and provide a return for you vs. putting it in a depreciating asset?

It's not always black and white but lots of gray areas. 

but end of the day lots of Black on your balance sheet simply is not a bad thing.. 

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: There is the black and white approach where only $100mm and 4% body fat are acceptable.

I think it requires some "black-swans" to get us there but hey, that's my take, who knows, I also thought shopping online was dumb back when, lol.
