@Joe Prillaman Do you charge extra for dogs? Or for anything else?

Do you have a weight limit on dogs to keep the potential "dangerous" breeds away, or do you find that most folks don't travel with their 100 lb Rotty?

Thaks again Joe, you're a big help!

Thanks @Jessica Tsao!

Hi Donald,

Airdna and Pricelabs

Good luck!

Hi Joe,

When I first read your post, I thought 4.81 was a typo! No worries, it's such a minor difference, and unless the reviews are actually mentioning something that you can fix, (adding a dishwasher?) or point out in your listing, then there is nothing you can do about it.  

How fast is your wifi?

How is Roku working out for you? Does anyone miss cable?

What brand smartlock do you use?

What software packages are you using for all of your automations?

Have you had any issues with allowing pets?

Thanks Joe!

Hi Maria,

If I were you I'd go with the Poconos. In fact, that's our next investment, so we might wind up being neighbors!

Here's what we've found out so far in our research:

Airdna and Pricelabs are very helpful.

The one gated community that we visited last weekend wouldn't let us tour without using one of their realtors. I later found out that they are in a "moderate" crime area. Not sure if that's why they were gated or not, but the homes were noticeably cheaper...

I'm more comfortable investing in a community that has a lot of STR's. Hopefully they are dependent on the income from the STR's and will continue to allow them.

Lake Harmony is the cream of the crop, but it was a little too crowded for our tastes.

Split Rock is great, but according to a local contact the new owners of the resort will soon be enforcing the 30 day minimum stay that's in the bylaws. It's 100% hearsay, but I'm not willing to take a chance with that.

My accountant has a 4 bedroom in Lake Naomi, and he does very well with it. 

There are a LOT of homes on the market, and we're taking our time learning the area. 

Good luck, and let us know how you do!

Hi Michael,

If you haven't already, check out Robuilt on youtube. He's also BP podcast 492.

Let us know how you do!

Hi Jessica,

Can you share publicly?

Thanks!

Hi David,

I have the same concerns, and one of the ways I'm dealing with this is by investing in a mature market with a lot of STR's. My thinking is that the more money coming into a town/municipality via STR's, the less likely they'll be to outlaw them.

Good luck!
