Thanks for the quick reply, Julie - very encouraging to hear that it's an avenue worth pursuing.I used to be concerned about my personal furniture (which is not inexpensive) but after I added up the opportunity costs of NOT utilizing my primary residence as a STR in my absence, all my concerns about it vanished.

If you haven't heard of them already some quick rules of thumb are to look for properties that rent for 1% or more than the purchase price and generally you should expect about 50% of your rental income to go back out in expenses like property management, capital expenditure, maintenance, vacancy etc.

It got me thinking about the nuances of negotiating with people in general, and I thought it might be cool to hear some quick tips from others that have been useful when negotiating. 

The success of a mastermind comes from the participants and their ability to quickly implement what they are learning and then share those results the next time they meet. 

You try and shoot somebodies dog and you might find out how quickly the owner takes away your gun and shoots  you.

I'm here to make sure you have an amazing experience, and if for any reason we don't live up to your expectations, I want to know about it.Cheers.Dan (from adwords nerds) Dan, I am absolutely disgusted with your companies services and customers service.Before I will make this horrible ordeal public I will give you a chance to call me in person and arrange for a refund.What one of your workers did was completely unacceptable!

That can juice you up pretty quickly.

This gives you a quick snapshot into the local activity.
