I’ve seen different things out there regarding best practices. 

Practice your pitch!

Regarding delayed advertising, early marketing is a common practice to minimize vacancies, so you may want to negotiate this with your management team.

Aside from the obvious dangers, I’m seeking best practices and how experienced investors  in this area handle hurricane damage?

Would love to learn more about some best budgeting practices to account of these two costs ?

Practically every deal in Columbus follows this rule, so you won't need to do much due diligence.

Hi Alecia, thanks for the practical tips.

Throw in a dose of imposter syndrome and fatalism and you have a recipe for some mood swings right before a property is booked again.From a practical point, I would recommend great photos, a clearly defined target to whom you are advertising and understanding the best pricing of an area really well to ake sure you get booked in a timely fashion.From a more meta perspective, be aware that these listings don't typically get booked well in advance (families displaced by flood or fire, traveling nurses who need a new contract ASAP, and construction projects that realize they need a speciality engineer on-site RIGHT NOW don't book ahead).
