I use a company called "Self Management" it costs me zero dollars and things get done RIGHT. 

@Kevin Lefeuvre you missed my point. In my market I can't get bookings without a hot tub. So.... I do what I gotta do. 

@Zachery Buffin Did this idea disappear? I'm down to meet up anytime anywhere.  No day job 

100% of my market has hot tubs. So we have hot tubs. The houses come with them in our market. They suck. They're gross. They're expensive. Guests can't figure out how to use them and ask stupid questions.  Guests have sex in them and splash water around and complain its not full the next day. 

I don't get in them when I'm staying in my own places. They're disgusting.  They get professionally cleaned after each check out of course (this is a law and would be really freakin gross if you didn't do it). But still.... too nasty for me to think about getting in one. And they're constantly breaking. Don't do it if you don't have to. And if you do buy the most expensive one you can find with the radio and waterfalls and LED lights and all that stupid crap to entertain the guests. 

@Jenessa NeSmith  So you want to encourage people to get even more drunk they they normally do on vacation.... in YOUR house? This is a terrible idea. Go big red. 

@Julia Ann Message me happy to get on the phone and talk your ear off about how this works. Too much for a forum post. Would be great blog post. 

@Paul Sandhu Nice to see you finally added a picture you handsome devil! 

@Tim Schroeder     We live in Nashville don't waste your time buying anything here. The REIN meetings always go something like this "So, does anyone have any ideas on how to make a couple of bucks?...... crickets"  As far as VRs, forget about it you're losing money just thinking about it. 

@Josh Coffy Is obviously fired up about his cabin purchase with his recent action here on the VR forum. Happy to have him. And... He's right. You can make some money in the PF/GBurg area IF you are willing to self manage. If you don't want to manage forget about it you'll lose money. 

Talk to Avery Carl about this market. She's the best in the biz. She's sold me 5 in the last year. 

I don't buy in HOAs. I don't like rules or being told what to do. 

Honeywell T5 all the way for VRs. Nest is too complicated for people who don't have one in their own home. T5 looks and acts like an old school thermostat but is digital. It's also half the price of a nest. 

I have one nest and get messages about it all the time because people aren't smart enough to turn it. In the VR world the less messages from dumb people the better. 

The above was stated with nothing but peace and love for all of our beautiful vacationers.
