One day several weeks after close, they sent me an "invoice" via email with no body, just an attachment with a jumble of line items - It included one of the two items they were getting a quote for me on (new flooring), some but not all of the items they were supposed to fix as part of the contract (with prices even though they were paying), and a few other items I was not familiar with. 

Get listed on all the OTA’s and a direct booking site, use good management software like HostAway, use dynamic pricing software like pricelabs, use WiFi enabled smart locks like Schlage encode, use an email capture system for guests to login to WiFi like stayfi, use those captured emails to do marketing for your direct booking site, and automate scheduling and payments for cleaners and maintenance.

Other low-cost amenities that can boost ROI include a coffee and tea station with basic supplies, a welcome basket with snacks and water, or small outdoor games like cornhole.

Economics matter: Market trends and supply and demand. 

That means there are sometimes you have to get people off the list who are not opening your emails, or buying anymore, and add people who were buying years ago stopped, and now are back in.

My number and email are in my signature, give me a call or text!

You can DM me your email so I can send you the details.

Just a suggestion for after you call or go in person - send the person a follow up email with a recap of what they told you.

The easiest thing to transform them into is storage unit places but there is only so much of that before you have an over supply.

Yes we ask towards the top of the market, but I anticipate my holding times (which are in line as the short supply in my area is able to work for me) and build that in.
