A few things I’ve noticed with new vacation rentals: Visibility matters – listings with reviews tend to get more exposure, so early traction can be slow.Photos & description – clear, high-quality images and detailed descriptions make a big difference.Pricing & perks – discounts help, but consider small early-bird perks like waived fees or free cleaning to attract your first bookings.Tracking & data – I’ve found that keeping a simple Excel tracker of pricing trends, comps, and cleaning costs really helps when evaluating potential listings.

Indiana seems to be in a fight of residents vs data centers across the state.

When you’re self-managing, the key is finding a screening service that’s FCRA-compliant, offers direct client support, and values accuracy over speed of results :Full Credit Reports with FICO Scores (soft-pull preferred so it doesn’t impact the applicant’s credit).Nationwide Criminal and Eviction Searches that are manually verified for accuracy.Employment and Income Verification Tools that connect directly to payroll or bank data instead of relying on uploaded documents.Identity Verification Features that confirm facial biometrics and ID authenticity to prevent fraud.You’ll want something that integrates easily with your application workflow — whether you send applicants a link or manually enter their info — and delivers reports within a few hours.Feel free to message me any time if you’d like to chat.

Asking lenders/investors: what’s your go-to method for checking payment history and verifying collections data before a purchase?

The data in consumer debt, and consumer actions is really freaking me out.

Good investing is generally boring, dull, math and data heavy, and sloooowwwwww.
