Now we have 6 more properties (multi-families, vacation rentals and commercials) and have started to "figure it out."

In the old days, grandpa would buy the shingles and spend his week of vacation from the factory replacing the roof when it was needed.

Do they pay for vacation pay, medical insurance, workers comp, payroll taxes, PTO & holidays, ongoing training, trucks & commercial vehicle insurance, liability insurance, admins, marketing, SEO, liability insurance, bonding fees, licensing fees?

You don’t want to buy in those buildings jif you’re looking to do vacation rentals.

We get solicited by influences all the time trying to stay at our places for free in exchange for a shout out.No thanks.Maybe an influencer can get me to buy a widget but their biased opinion will not influence my decision of where I stay on vacation.

He has someone clearing it out and is mostly vacated now leaving pretty clean actually.. so all good i guess, just have to start the screening process and hope to fill for Nov 1st.Thanks again

As a starter I think the regional/drive to leisure market would be an area for me to start, where folks can drive within a couple of hours and still get a vacation.
