I want to learn more about your expertise.

If it is more mom and pop tenants anything as a big expense onto CAM you generally will have to spread over many years to recover as too high a CAM on top of base rent will shock their business model.

I'm super-curious to hear your expertise and opinions.

Wondering how the mixed LTR/STR model has worked for you. 

That model might work for some but I dont think it works for everyone.

The entire premise of my point, was that anybody with the expectation that they will "Contract Assign" as a business model and somehow have some magic pill to sell houses to their "buyers list" faster, more efficiently or better than an agent can do is false.

But I have chosen to go back to the old model for our high season (Jan-March/April) and currently have guests paying $5800 per month for my 3/2 house with a yard and a pool.

Depending on what you are looking for, you might be able to do better with a short-term rental approach, but that’s a very different business model.

Last thing: you will lack in the areas where you lack focus, do not lack understanding or expertise.

Burlington is my area of expertise and there definitely aren't a properties available under 200k (other than those needing $100k+ in reno) and there are some incoming STR regulations to watch out for.
