LinkedIn is the best vetting tool for renters and buyers as you can assess their ability to pay or rent by their job status.

When I first claimed the "real estate professional" status, my CPA firm and I had to spend a decent amount of time confirming whether I do indeed qualify.

There are really not that many nuisance trips, and if yiu put in the better-lighted outlets that have red and green status lights, it's easy to find the culprit.My local code specifies all GFCI in the bathrooms, kitchens, and basements, so it's not like I don't buy them by the 10-pack already.

It gives me a battery read out and I can add and delete guest codes anytime.

It has a different approach to where it's focused 100% on producing the absolute best experiences for the highest quality guests to maximize long term returns.

@Jeff SmithAnother thing I like more about STR is that you can get it professionally cleaned multiple times every week paid for by the guests and don’t have to give anyone tenant rights which is a big thing for my as my STR’s are in California.

Tenants would book their stay, host would make sure the camper was in the spot and ready to go, guest drives up and stays.

@Derek Hobart use a 1) channel manager for guest messaging (Your Porter, IGMS, Smartbnb, OwnerRez to name a few), 2) dynamic pricing tool (Pricelabs or Beyond Pricing), 3) digital guest guide where you can embed short instructional videos (Hostfully), 4) WiFi lock (Schlage Smart Connect w/Smart Things Hun or Schlage Encode no hub needed), camera (Ring Cam) and thermostat (Honeywell).

We have guests put towels in the washer before they leave, so those go in the dryer when our cleaner gets there.

The interior door knobs, interior light fixtures and ceiling fans are gold colored.
