Well, last night he must've gone over (without telling me) grabbed his tools and left.

Looked up hotels and I see $350-600 per room per night for 2 adults and 3 kids.

One of their so called instructors from one of the training sessions asks the students to go to the five star hotels, or go play golf, or go horse riding, or go hang out at the high end night clubs for the sake of fund raising.

For those who are charging higher nightly rates, where would you say your rates are vs comps to try to weed out the trouble guests?  

We’re using a well-known Columbus CPA firm this year and for a similar price the work has been better, and the engagement is night and day improved. 

I suspect the person who originally turned it into a fiveplex only applied for permits to make a fourplex and then did the 5th unit fly by night (perhaps at a later date) in order so the property would still be considered residential and allow for better financing possibilities.

Currently we are seeing STR owners posting for sale due to reduction in prices they can get per night and the vacancy rate increasing. 

The boot camp is great for anyone looking to become an operator in the space, although it’s also a good general overview over the course of a weekend (I believe it’s Friday Night to Sunday Night).To address the @Marty Sellis comments – we were a virtual company up until about a year ago, with employees around the country.

It’s ran like a business, not a personal investment.Given the heavy workload I have being the CEO/founder of the wealth management company, my wife has set up a well oiled machine on the property management side, due to her perfectionist drive however, it still means that she's constantly dealing with tenants and toilets and replying to items at all hours of the day and night.

While the property is in a smaller town, it’s relatively close to a larger city, which I think adds a lot of potential for attracting both short-term guests and long-term tenants.The motel has fewer than 16 rooms, and the nightly rates are extremely competitive for the area.
