I've been involved as an equity partner on a syndication which did not hit return goals at ALL, due to alleged malfeasance by one of the sponsors.Now that I'm on the sponsorship side, I take the reputability, ethics, morals, and so forth, of my fellow sponsors very seriously.

However since it boosts returns and allows me to buy an asset I would not otherwise be able to purchase I am left with the privilege of paying someone else for their money. 

Anyways if you are serious about doing deals and want a boost I would be glad to do a weekly call or something.

Like politicians if you have low morals and are a cunning linguist you can manipulate people very easily.

Nobody seems to have morals anymore.

The vacation rental market has been boosted during the pandemic because people opt not to travel traditionally (cruises, Mexico, Hawaii, etc) so the west coast discovered Southen Utah.

With Airbnb and VRBO boosting your property for the first few weeks to "test" it, listing right before Spring Break is a GREAT chance to get your property boosted to the top of searches right away!

I considered using my outlandishly deep knowledge of the Cleveland market to add a subjective overlay in cases where the data seemed skewed by something like a subsidized senior citizen high-rise (dragging down incomes, homeowner rates, etc. and therefore causing an undue hit to the area's grade... think the apartment buildings on Clifton in Edgewater for example) or a semi-fancy newer development surrounded mostly by rather dumpy older stuff (pulling up incomes, homeowner rates, etc. and therefore causing an undue boost to the area's grade... think Mill Creek off of Turney for example) but I decided against it mainly because I didn't want to allow subjectivity into it at all and then get accused of encouraging discriminatory practices or any bs like that.But... at the end of the day James you do have that first mover advantage (and I commend you for making the map in the first place even though I disagree with some of your assessment), so you'll likely continue to get the majority of the traffic, at least for the foreseeable future.

Morale of the story require renters insurance and if you did file a claim.  

I was also thinking I would ask my tenants, who are cooperating, to sign a statement stating they did not put t(e lock in place and do not object to my moral of it for inspection purposes.
