As we all know business is about growing, but a lot of business die from eating too much than starving.

Hey, heres an idea, tell your kids ds to stop picking at the paint and eating it ,then screaming lead posing and try getting a pay day.  

It is eating into my margins and was curious if I am overpaying for maintenance..? 

I have had mostly great guests, but the few that I've had that were terribly messy (much of what you describe but also smearing pizza toppings on the floor, having an easter egg hunt (I found some of the eggs) with chocolate in fabric and pink maybe egg coloring staining two sets of sheets) and yet were given 5 star reviews from prior hosts.  

For what it's worth, some ideas I've seen pitched are grocery bundles (e.g. a breakfast bundle for 2-4 people with eggs, bacon, bagels, cream cheese, and OJ all pre-stocked in the fridge), meal kits, a pre-stocked drink fridge, charcuterie boards, premium coffee selection, bike/e-bike/scooter/kayak/canoe rentals, video game consoles, upgraded work-from-home office amenities (e.g. oversized computer monitor), etc.I'm not a lawyer, but cocktail kits, bottles of wine, local craft beer, and other alcoholic items seem like they would fall into a grey area from liability perspective. 

After you build your nest egg from land investments, you can explore other real estate opportunities like housing.

You can use the extra money as a nest egg. 5/6K would not make a big difference on your payments, if it was 10K's that's different.

Deal sharks can eat its meal in any water he finds it in.

I attended the seminar recently in Pasadena sep/16/2022Of course the rep or speaker was very motivational and did make it seem to become rich in a click of a bottom.. what he aslo said is that people are scared to take chances like this because of lack of education... he mentioned this only Once, But thats all i needed... then he kept going on talking all about the Postive and easy steps and wealth and etc.. at the end i left without paying $300 to become a memeber or attend 3 day class... remember education ... so i went home and educated myself checked everything needed on line.. and there are more cons than pros.. and the big fish eats the small fish.. before buying any lien you have to attend an Auction... was i ready to face those auction people .. no is every lien a winning bid No.. am i getting the best lien no .. big investors wont let you do that.. but this semianr made $300 per person that night ..
