Some design and amenity ideas:+ Welcoming living space with plush seating for family hangouts+ Coffee bar or stocked tea station for early mornings before campus events+ Dining table or breakfast nook perfect for family meals+ Dedicated workspace for parents who need to check in on workFor sports fans, tap into their game-day energy and make your STR the go-to spot for a fun, convenient stay:+ Big, comfortable seating & a great TV setup (think oversized couch, streaming sports channels)+ Game-day essentials like a mini fridge stocked with game-day snacks/drinks+ Outdoor space with a grill & seating for pre- or post-game gatherings+ Good parking (sports fans hate scrambling)+ Team spirit decor touches (subtle, not tacky—think framed sports prints, not full-on mascot murals)Your design & reviews will do most of the marketing but to market directly to these guests:🎯 List your STR on sites where parents and alumni book (if allowed)🎯 Partner with local businesses—coffee shops, sports bars, or tailgate services—where your ideal guests hang out🎯 Optimize your listing title and description with phrases like “Perfect for Visiting Parents & College Game Days”🎯 Time any discounts/promotions around major campus events—homecoming, graduation, big rivalry gamesThink of it this way, you’re not just offering a place to stay—you’re creating an experience they’ll want to book again and again.

You join the spreadsheet (table) to a geometry (property boundary, blocks, etc), then you visualize the data with a logical color scheme.

What are you bringing to the table?

If you can brand yourself as someone with a strong track record of getting VA buyers to the closing table efficiently, realtors will take notice and vouch for you and your clients as offers are submitted and this will show tremendous value to borrower clients.  

This works, but is VERY manual and I'd love to bring some automation to the table.

We can also include rehab financing, if there is any value add opportunities with this deal you have on the table. 

In fact many homes with too high of an occupancy are leaving money on the table.  

Try to value what you're bringing to the table which sounds like mostly sweat equity.

Looks like your classic Ponzi scheme.

One solution I see some people do is to partner with another investor on a couple of deals where each brings something to the table...more capital, experience, etc.
