I would love any advice on landlords' favorite brands or models that last well and are not complicated.

This was the very first time they had rented it; brand new landlords.

I have yet to have a guest ask for a refill or mention the quality (I tried to pick a nice-looking, not-too-expensive brand).Be careful with the scents -- I had a run of people pulling out and hiding the scents and one or two people complained that they were scent-sensitive in private notes. 

The gurus that sell their courses with the promise that it's easy money.I wish you the best.

I would restate that the lease will remain in place until such time that a new tenant is selected and moves into the property.This approach will ensure your cash flow while acknowledging that 'stuff happens.' 

While I agree that the purchase is an important part of the process, if you buy based on price and not on the STR aspect of the deal, it could fail.You might get the best damn deal on a property in an area that makes a terrible STR thus it isn't a deal at all.

One of the best was when they told me the radiator in the kitchen is warm and should be hotter.

was looking to add brand new SFH to my portfolio.

I'm looking to categorize my buyers and blast out a text message to specific groups whenever I get a property that fits their criteria.I'm sure services like this exist out there but I'm looking for the most cost effective one and I'd rather hear the best from you guys rather than from the salesman pitching their product.Does anyone use a platform like this and how does it perform for you?

What are the best strategies or tools that you use to find Off-Market Properties?
