When I book hundreds of rooms at a shot, they tend to give me the best pricing, since DUH, it's vegas, they aren't making their money off the rooms, but off the gambling, the liquor, etc. and Im putting several hundred corporate people in their property who are all going to spend money.  

I just read where that is a real barrier to moving to a nicer rental for a lot of folks in high rent/low wage areas.

The term for folks that like to look at homes they are not able/willing to purchase is "looky loo," they comprise something around three quarters of the people that show up to any reasonably well marketed open house.

Small group with lots of experienced folks willing to help newcomers.  

I am curious to know what folks in the area are using for maintenance and capex numbers. 

By talking with folks who are doing different things you maybe interested in you can narrow down you focus.Best of luck.

Mid January tends to be fine.  

What is the main occupation for majority of the folk there ?

(I myself have gotten 5 or so solicitations in one form or another, so I understand how some folks could find it bothersome.)

Good luck out there, folks!!!
