I think novice operators are trying go too heavy on amenities to compete with the big boys/girls/people and they can't do it as well because they don't have the operational experience.Consistency is the key for new operators and that goes for quarterly photo updates, dynamic pricing, and communication.Too many people got into the space in the past three years who thought of STRs as passive income when that is just silly.

In one of my duplex units, one girl wants to stay and renew her lease but with two new people as the current other two are moving out.She had 2 people willing, but one of them was a smoker so I had to say no.

@Chris Seveney This reminded me of a line in a John Mayer song: "When I really start to break it down,I wouldn′t trust a girl who knew about this place."

Me and the wife are having a little girl so my plan is to wholesale for the next year to better leverage my time and really develop that one skill in my skill set.
