If you can find the right deal, you can massive increase the property value!

You should always take care of your family and put them first, which would include paying for their accommodation at such a massive event.I thought this was an interesting example of an investor making a decision based on soft information, rather than hard figures like MSA growth, break even occupancy, # of doors the sponsor has done in the past, or anything else like that. 

Go to your preferred large home improvement retailer's pro desk and get an appliance package bid.

Thanks for this Andrew.Yeah, I've been seeing the headlines but have a feeling that's more the media looking for some drama to write on...I've been doing my own research, I've heard directly from several STR investors here on BP (who most have said they aren't seeing any of these massive drops that the media is reporting, only that they're seeing more last-minute bookings, where before they were booked out 30 days+...who knows if that's just the sign of less bookings coming??)

Massive achievementFrom personal experience, I also retired from from the corporate world thanks to my real estate portfolio.

I really appreciate it and big kudos on your massive action.

Looking for a dishwasher and not sure I need to pay retail $500 for this Maytag model I found from google research to be very solid:Maytag MDB4949SDH 24" Built-In Dishwasher w/ PowerBlast Cycle - Whitehttp://www.searsoutlet.com/d/product_details.jsp?

They buy materials in bulk at substantial discounts and are buying big ticket items like hvac systems wholesale, not at big box retail stores.

My returns are massively better than anything you will find in your area, and there is no reason at all for you to settle for crap returns and insane purchase prices just because you live in the wrong place. 

I was told it was an electrical appliance retail at one point associated with Western Auto (founded by George Pepperdine of Pepperdine University fame https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Auto).
