I have a financial adviser/financial planner and people were shocked when they found out I was working with someone.

In general, I price myself 10-15% high outside of my avg lead time, and discount fairly aggressively inside the lead time.This strategy attempts to capture both the planners who will pay a small premium to secure a good data ahead of time, and the last minute deal seekers.In general, it seems many people don’t vary between weekend and weekday pricing enough IMHO.2 ideas I’ve toyed with… in 2+ years I’ve never not booked a weekend.

Do not get me wrong, there are a lot of great people and resources out there but ultimately make sure you do a gut check and due diligence before listening to anyone on their advice, especially if they are asking you for money in some way.

They best people in town doing this are tommy harr and the guys over at legacy homes. 

Trying to give the people a fair evaluation.   

You need to really understand the risks and align yourself with smart people/teams that aren't just looking to take advantage of your ignorance.

Most people will say start by identifying your guest avatar, but I recommend starting with your property first if you already own something.

For people in the Brooklyn area, do you have any cement/concrete professional that you'd recommend? 

Many people mentioned that it is strongly recommended to have a CPA as a part of the team. 

They were not to blame, other people coming from less than where I was got to where they were promised.
