@william anderson is a good resource for this area https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/williama325Short version seems that Biloxi is heavily regulated but the beach towns to the west (Gulfport, Long Beach, Pass Christian) are more relaxed. 

Also get her to post your property want at KnoxREIA.comSecond - Home Depot is rolling out an all new paint and appliance program at the Sept 8 KnoxREIA monthly meeting at the Holiday Inn Cedar Bluff.

Just relax and wait a year......

I think the best part is that you can go in and change your pricing each day to reflect vacancies, local events, holidays, etc.

It's also worth noting that it is the holiday time...so you face the challenge of it not being the optimal time of year for a tenant to be movingAs has been mentioned, consider lowering the price point a bit or being creative overall in the deposit/transaction costs to get them in the door.Last thought - The location of your property is so close to Sarasota beaches, IMG Academy, the SRQ Airport, several golf courses, and 15 minutes to Manatee Memorial Hospital.

After reading all posts, I still believe it's not going to change my occupancy rates if I ask our guests to:-pick up their trash (vacation or not, why wouldn't you-seriously, how messy are you)-load the dishwasher (why would you live with food spoiling on dishes when you're expecting to have a relaxing time w/o the rotting smells)-place used towels in the washer (odor & mold issues)This is plain ole pick up after yourself stuff.

You seem to have posted the topic today, a holiday for many people, but don't have the patience to see how the thread advances without complaining about the few who have commented already.It would appear that you have a successful business model, so why does it matter?

Happy holidays and may the new year bring you bundles of happiness.

I missed the last SJREIA meeting (at Holiday Inn , Cherry Hill NJ).

Happy Holidays!
