Bottom line: Can the con of "significantly less" returns be remedied/compensated by increasing one's inventory of properties (portfolio size) - all while maintaining all the 'pros'?

They will generally talk to you without compensation to see if they want to help with the claim.

If yes, how does the realtor receive his/her compensation?

If a resort canceled your stay a month after a reservation was made and a few months before your travel, as a customer, what would be your expectation for compensation?  

Back end ratios can exceed 48% with compensating factors as well so if there is income to squeeze its worth the look.DSCR is going to factor credit score heavy plus down payment and prepayment penalties if you put down more and take 3-5 year prepay you can walk away with a lower rate.

You made an effort to handle this promptly, so I see no reason why you should compensate them for anything.Think of it this way.

Does it have to be a gift or could it be compensation for raising you?

If they are unwilling to compensate you, then I would seriously consider looking for a new property manager as quickly as possible because these folks sound more like glorified rent collectors.When I inspect, I document everything with pictures and any damage is photographed up close, sometimes with a hand or foot in the picture for size reference.

I need to better implement some sort of compensation for future bookings.

Usually they are on market but the ones I am currently looking at are off market so how would I compensate the buyer’s agent who put me on an mls search if the seller isn’t paying comission?
