Wow, thanks.

You're going to run into this in most of the major STR markets because within the last 2 years we have seen a massive spike in available inventory.In order to compete with the competition now, hosts/owners/operators need to step up their game and be willing to invest in good quality furniture, memory foam mattresses, high quality linens, professional seasonal photography, etc.In the high desert, most visitors are looking for peace, quiet, privacy, and amazing scenery so this means stay away from purchasing homes in residential neighborhoods with neighbors on all sides.

If you are renting rooms you want to cover visitors ect. sometimes people restrict visitors in units but I only use the normal clause in my long term lease of permission for more than 10 days/month.

Point her to the lease and local habitability standards, require all requests via one channel, and reply with written triage: urgent, next scheduled visit, or tenant responsibility.

Amazing, wow, what an impressive outcome in such a short amount of time!

In 1973 while travelling through the Knoxville area I toured the Oakridge Nuclear Facility visitor's center. 

If there are places you already visit or have some connection to, even if they are more expensive than the Midwest, explore those first.

The first construction project after college that I managed went really well, and there I am thinking wow this is easy and the next three were extremely complex and made me realize “oh wow this is not as easy as I thought it was”.

WOW!
