One cabin owner I spoke with mentioned that even mid-week bookings picked up when they offered flexible check-in times and promoted the property as a remote work getaway.A quick tip: before committing, check Johnson City’s regulations on short-term rentals.

It's very intimate.  

I like to look at not only the subject property but also as many of the comps, the neighboring properties, the ones behind and in front and on the next block, etc. in order to really understand the exact micro-market as intimately as possible.

We've had guests do exactly that.We do not advertise any of these supplies until our check-in instructions welcome them to use the pantry, and let this be a pleasant surprise to people when they arrive.In theory a guest could clear us out but nobody ever has. 

At this point in time my goal was to have owned and rehabbed 5 SFR.

I told them we were told that, as members of the Inner Circle, we could get 100% of ARV within 72 hours, and that Lee had personally assured me that I would have the money in time.

You simply can’t ignore the risk of investing in an area that you’re not intimately familiar with.

The tenants have paid and if someone is thinking about moving out then an extra surcharge that hits if they aren't out in time for us to turn the place for a lucrative AirBNB short term rental can help massage the move out timing.That said with MTR we do not have the cleaning costs that eat up a lot of STR gross, and its lower hassle in some ways.  

So many of the builds I've visited, some multiple times, seem to be frozen in time: the homes are dried-in (roof paper, windows and doors), tiled floors, drywall installed, and then a dead-stop.

At that point in time, we can just list the property and sell it. we have long-term capital gains rather than short-term capital gains, we would have probably experienced some appreciation during that time.
