My other business is currently on auto-pilot and because of that I have since gotten back into my true passion - Real Estate!

I had a .22 Ruger 6" barrel that was a blast to shoot, use to plink cans out of the water from a bridge (no traffic) firing at almost full auto speeds leading into the target.

Put it on a auto timer and it will look like one of your workmen is living at the property.

>> if you want to do that one day, have awesome insurance, and build a system to get guests' email addresses from day 1.2. use a software like Hospitable to sync your airbnb and vrbo calendars for the same property. you can also set up auto messaging on there.3. the amount of repeat guests i think depends on your market and what type of guest you cater to. i'd think driveable markets would have more repeat guests, or places that accommodate traveling professionals. i probably wouldn't start up direct booking until you've really found your footing as a host.

You could also trade services such as carpentry, auto mechanics, painting, dental work and other services that you can do for the seller over time.4.

It's like an auto insurance.

But I won't surprise to hear someone shout at me again and say "that is HORRIBLE..." because you guys really know how to make the money rolls like a ball.I had my auto insurance with COSTCO - Ameriprise Auto&Home Insurance (1-888-404-5365) since 2006.
