@Dan WentworthI forgot to mention about the purchased course content:His podcasts that are free on YouTube give a general idea of how he runs his business.. within the course.. he has a full online classroom that goes into extreme detail on every little step from A-Z

In my office, we conduct a full credit/criminal background check.

Oftentimes there's a disconnect between what the client wants and CPAs services.

Hi Shannon,Given that we are accountants/CPAs, it's against the ToS on BP to advertise/promote our services.

@Jason O.I've rented to over 700 students (under and grad) and I understand the market well.To do it successfully: time it with the academic calendarSept to May: flat price including utilities and furniture for max revenue, can include a cleaning service to keep an eye on the rental.May to Aug: depends on your city density and the amount of summer classes, increase the price to accommodate the demand or decrease it accordingly.

With less competition, if you have good theming and design then it'll be easier to charge a higher nightly rate and keep your property full which will make it more profitable.

Baseline customer service was of no help.I want to understand what products do you use?
