Start with durable, high-quality basics: plush towels, soft linens, and a fully stocked kitchen with sharp knives, pans, and essentials like oil and spices.

Even still, it could be said that I've still lost money due to my time on the tools instead of prospecting as a real estate agent (the cost of lost opportunity).If you can truly do 80%-90% of the work yourself (at acceptable quality levels) and you aren't sacrificing your time where you can get better returns for your efforts, then yes, it can work even up here in Canada.

Maybe start with a part-time ops manager or a reliable lead cleaner to free up your time while keeping quality high.

Also, if you need a quality GC in the Charlotte and surrounding area please reach out!

Do it very intentionally, not just for the sake of scaling up, but to get better quality or easier to manage properties that will replace lower quality or harder properties. 

Because you are able to work remote, enhances the need for flexibility as I can easily see a time where you want to move someplace else because you can.  

But occasionally we have issues and tenants need to be asked to leave or just decide to disappear in the middle of winter and it sucks.The worst part is I find the quality of tenant interested or willing to move this time of year isn't the greatest either - often times there is a reason they have to move right now since most landlords don't like ending leases this time of year.Either lower your rent or just hang in there.

Although it may look good on paper, the tenant quality might not be great.

Here’s how they approached it:1.Scraping Listings: They used web scraping tools like Beautiful Soup and GPT APIs to scan Airbnb for properties in their target areas.2.Image Analysis: They trained an AI model to analyse listing photos, identifying homes with solid potential (good structure, layout, location) that were undervalued due to low-quality photos.

It is a freehold property, recently renovated from top to toe with high quality, large garden, and kept very clean at all times.
