It’s one thing to learn and get information, application and results are a what I’m interested in. 

It is better information.

I would love to learn more about the area & have not had success in finding much information

I called them out on this only to be informed that they dont lock rates.

When it comes to renting out the houses separately, it would be advisable to gather data on each house individually in terms of occupancy rates, nightly rates, and any other relevant information.

The 4% vs 5% is definitely an information I didn't know. 

Even if they only clean when you are coming thru, that is better than years of piling up.5) Gives you information to determine if you want to renew the lease.6) If you have regular inspections, then if a tenant is withholding rent, it gives you the opportunity to check on your property.Older homes with radiators and no fans in the bathroom are a nightmare.

Documentation is Key Gather all the communication you've had with the contractor, records of payments, and any information about the work done.

It's impossible to know everything about a market, so any value add information is expressly desired, and I appreciate it!
