Shortly after I slowly took on a fulltime postion at a large real estate firm and helped build out their residential PM service since mine was owner operator properties only.

Rents per unit are about 1K for long term tenants, although I'm likely to do STR or at least a combination of the two.

All of those are "part of doing business". 3 years, 7 Airbnbs and hundreds of guests later I'm still a proud host and a big fan of the mid-term / short-term model!

Even though it did not go as planned and we turned out to not be profitable, I think it's just as important to talk about our failures as much as our successes.

Long story short, cosmetically ugly and out of style is fine, not functioning isn't and WOOD ROT is a major no/no with FHA and VA appraisers.

Short backstory; I’m a licensed builder in MI and have been on my own for 1.5 years completing structural restorations, insurance claims (roofs, siding, floods, etc), and about 15 or so bathroom remodels.

But what jumped out to me was the immeasurable in terms of dollars:“But our family has grown!”

Hey all, this post is for anyone with some open weekdays who is also looking for better/updated photography for their short term rental (also some bonus tips on partner cross-marketing).Partner with influencers (find them on FB and Instagram or I can help you find a few) by offering them a stay during the quieter mid-week time in exchange for professional content and posts from them.

One thing that would be cool is provide feed for short stays.

Now, I have a portfolio of Short Term Rentals and Long Term Rentals.
