Very well said Scott and thank you for the soft mention, Jay. 

Momma said, speak softly and carry a BIG stick. 

If they don't.... well if you read any of my other things on PM I speak of my philosophy of management called an "Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove", the soft approach doesn't work, than it's all Iron Fist, and I mean that in the most tyrannical ruler means possible, the only measure I have stronger than that is when I call up the lawyer which we refer to as "The Hand of God" because thats the level of destruction she can bring down. 

I can't speak for myself but my sister has a vacation rental here and she added baskets with beach towels, inexpensive flip flops, and children's toys/board games.

Your real estate investment will work much harder than that.The one thing I would say is that your emergency fund may be a little soft.

I only found out last week from a post by Mark Laita on his Youtube channel, SOFT WHITE UNDERBELLY (which is a great channel btw), that departments across the country would sent their vagrants to California on a one way bus ride.

I have done unpaid work bringing towels to physical therapists, at the help desk at a public library.

Harlem and Bed-Stuy. in 2020, the rental market in Manhattan was soft.

Americans in general (I don't know enough about other Western cultures to say) have become too soft by having it too good for too long.

We'll see if this ends up as a stagnant / soft market or even price declines.
