The STR pricing also changes with demand, on a daily basis, so it keeps up with whatever the market will bear.

I strive to listen, read, and watch vids on a daily basis. 

Be intentional with your daily activities - Make sure that your friends, things you watch, decisions you make, etc. all lead to your success.

(With so many fly by night and unhonest companies in our area that in itself has been a chore to aquire and priceless) 8 out of 10 of my jobs start with me and finish with a crew that I recommend.

I looked at my wife and smelled the dinner I had picked up for us to enjoy together, "call the plumber, I'm not fixing that tonight".Those are the daily decision we make as investors, property managers and DIY capable dudes and dudettes.

There's even a good chance that you could find a quality tenant willing to pay market rent and do the extra chores that she's currently handling.Run the numbers in the various scenarios and see what your best options are.

I cold call on a daily basis and find off market properties with older owners that are ready to get out of the game and properties are distressed, rented under market and have plenty of equity that you can buy into.

In my zillow add I list the times I am available for showings (usually after 2pm daily) When a prospect contacts me I set up a time and then try to set all other showings around that time.

I add things into my lease like: all pets must have nails clipped at all times; pet waste to be picked up in yard no less than 3 times per week; cat litter boxes to be cleaned daily; etc.

If you are weary of the landlord-tenant laws, I recommend having a property management company do the daily activities so you do not have to spend hours trying to keep up with the rules and regulations that are constantly changing here.As a small multifamily owner myself, I highly recommend finding a deal in the Portland Metro area.
