As we have now entered the holiday season and winter, I thought we would shift to discussing how to fill vacancies during this time of year.

Many has “seasoning” periods if six months or a year.

Our occupancy rates are up in slow season and we were only 42% Airbnb last month.This is just my humble opinion based on experience mainly in Tampa, but I hope it helps you in some way. 

I used to put a Cadbury bar along with an individual bottle of wine on every pillow. 

If you just completed the renovation, most lenders are going to want to see the property seasoned for 3-6 months and rented before they look at doing a refinance.

Google search for an IRR calculator and it should be simple.As soon as the condo seasons in 6 months, do a cash out refi and re-deploy the money to scale your portfolio.

What is something you wish you would’ve known before getting licensed in RE?

It is not something to rely on as STR especially are unpredictable in their revenue and is highly seasonal.

Look for a lot of people looking for deep clean jobs as we move to tax season.

I think we're going to go with the gift certificate idea... feels fitting during the holiday season and also appropriate given the amount of time she scheduled around being home to let workers in the house, etc.
