In the mountains I imagine it is a hot tub, views etc.Using a tool like AirDNa can cut down on research time sifting through listings and gives you a better idea of occupancy. 

The power of leverage is one reason people turn here.I can only imagine how confused OP must be reading all this.

But given that the renovation was done such a long time ago, there are some wear and tear, like Window and HVAC, shower handle and stuff, so we have been updating those one thing at a time, and I'm hoping that this house can handle another 20 year so the $ we poured in for the new set of windows are worth it...Would appreciate any thoughts!

Imagine their $500K home with $200K in mortgage left on it.

Right now only about 1-2% of my revenue comes from GVR.I can imagine GVR becoming pay-to-play and you having to spend money to gain traffic from it at some point, but if you are working with a PMS that offers that integration for free (shameless plug of Hospitable.com 😉 full disclosure, I work there) then right now any traffic or bookings you do get are a great bonus!

Imagine winning a buyer over and telling them they have to pay up!

I also have no investment in ODC.Well I guess that means Ryan's probably not having teleconferences with investors then...And yeah, I imagine it can be pretty wild. 

But everyone basically signed those agreements late into the search right before an offer was made, and because the seller almost always paid, it wasn’t the traditional negotiation you’d have upfront with a seller, 2ndly while I do think this is a net win for the consumer, the idea that the doj “solved a problem that didn’t exist” 1st of all it wasn’t doj it was a jury in Missouri 2ndly the issue is regardless of impact on consumer’s they were almost certainly violating anti-trust law which is illegal lol, the publishing of commissions and the fact that something like 98% of all agents were paid between 2.5-3% was textbook, imagine if the price for a ritz and a motel 6 we’re basically the same, you’d think collusion right? 

Can you imagine the cost to change a light bulb?

Imagine he did that, started shipping 100% match to RU supply.
