Sure the medium dictates whether they read it or not, but if it's not a compelling message, they're not going to call.

An important point is to use the same criteria for everyone and ask the same questions in the same manner.

You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise violating the law in an egregious manner.

For those of you who are familiar with how to open an entity in your state, how to stay self motivated, how to make effective phone calls, and just operate in a professional manner, the first half of the training may seem slow/repetitive. 

The Rise of Mid-Term Rentals:Mid-term rentals, which typically range from one to six months, are gaining traction for several compelling reasons.

I think for the average 1 rental owner, it's simply too much fuss, and the opportunity cost of that time and energy is either relaxing, or doing other things to maximize bookings like interior design.I think the industry in general suffers from bombarding new hosts with 10,000 things to do in month 1 (OTA, direct booking sites, linking calendars, specific smart locks, etc.) when in reality most owners should probably list on the most relevant platform for their area in year 1, develop a rhythm and learn a few basics, and then start looking into improvements from there.Certainly with multiple properties it starts to become a more compelling argument.  

That said, I'm open to compelling arguments.Here's some of my questions for those of you who have experience with this...  

Did the tenant see and know about a water issue and fail to report it in a timely manner? 

And for sure even though I work with them in a fairly substantial manner is not just a blanket endorsement that some one should take and not do their own research as you pointed out .

Some GC's are crooks for sure but if these ones are finishing the work in a timely manner, doing quality work, and it's just going a little over budget, then that's pretty normal.
