@Amanda King  here are some best practices for you to followRecommended Best PracticesWritten Relocation Notice  I would provide tenants with Dates/Times of tenting, how long it will be uninhabitable, rent proration method used, relocation assistance program terms (Caps, reciepts, deadlines,) and deliver my certified mail, email and posted on the property at least 10 days before tenting.Standardized Assistance FormHave tenants submit, Name / unit, Contact info, Hotel receipt(s), Signature acknowledging termsClear Assistance TermsDraft language such as:“Landlord agrees to provide relocation assistance limited to actual lodging expenses incurred during the pest control displacement period, with original receipts, up to $200 per night for a maximum of 2 nights per household.

I've noticed that having a least a 2 bed to 1 bath ratio is good.

It messes up their credit, (that probably won't matter much, but it might), and will give future landlords notice that this guy is a crook.

This typically requires that you send out a notice and follow it up with a posting advising that on a forthcoming date your maintenance team will be arriving to do a property check and if you do not hear from the tenant you will enter the property to assess.If the unit is found to be abandoned you should be able to file a petition with the court for an expedited order granting you a judgment of default and the right of immediate possessionI would consult with an attorney first however this is how we would proceed in my office.   .   

If you were a person of marginal ethics (in this case, 75% of your tenants), and the governor publicly announces you cannot be held to account for not paying rent (no late fees, notices, or evictions), and in fact implies that it's okay not to honor your written contract, then what's the downside of not paying?

Do you see noticeable differences in how properties are run based on how they’re financed? 

Over the last 12–18 months, I’ve noticed a pretty significant shift in where the best deals are actually coming from.What I’m seeing on the “buy” side:Turnkey STRs are still trading at strong multiples if they’re well-designed (A-frames, chalets, cabins with amenities)A lot of listings look like deals but fall apart once you factor in:Occupancy limits (Septic-sized occupancy limitations are a big issue here) Deferred maintenance of older homes ( Many homes here were built in the 1960s-1980s)HOA Fees for where these properties exist. 

There’s been a noticeable increase in listings that sit, get withdrawn, or expire, which has created opportunities to re-engage sellers with better pricing or terms.Georgia’s landlord-friendly environment helps... insurance, taxes, and property condition matter a lot more now than they did a few years ago.Property management is a big differentiator here.

They've seen all the presorted mail companies, they all look the same.They've seen the same ugly "We Buy Houses" billboards.They've heard the "I know this call is outta the blue".But I've noticed they ain't seeing the good old handwritten letter in a neon yellow envelope in a while..

Interested in hearing from those that have a fairly even split between Airbnb / VRBO / Booking.com whether or not they notice a difference in type of guests (expectations/demands) between the platforms?
