oh man, the suspense.  

My suggestions:* Requiring code compliance and safety equipment is absolutely valid and should be part of the regulations* Requiring owners live within 15 miles is not necessary since poor hosts whether they're local or distant will violate the 3-5 warning system and earn a suspension.

Again, this goes with my theme that in MFM, you are usually surrounded by other neophytes.Okay, even though I have so many disappointments, I did post in the FB group and start a conversation with someone, and THEY introduced me to an operator, and I have been doing capital raising for them, which led to a referral to another operator that I'm raising for.

Do you see a theme here?

Thanks for the info, yea it's a pretty common theme in the podcast and such world.

Real Estate is the long game, not the get rich quick theme we hear on social media. 

I recommend having listings that work year round but adding more holiday themed photos is good as long as the property comes as advertised.

It only stands to reason that more and more investors jumped into the STR pool in the most popular tourist destination in the world - vacation rentals near Disney and Universal theme parks. 

There's been a lot of stories but the most common recurring theme to the ghost sightings is a little girl in the north room on the third floor.

There is just too much competition.If you're willing to invest heavily into theming you can force cashflow, but even that is going to be tight unless you really hit it out of the park with your theming.
