Bootcamps are like physical therapy.I was once convinced to go to physical therapy for back issues to qualify for something I can't remember.First session, they took me around their mini-gym and had me do a bunch of exercises.

This would save us probably $500-$800/mo.With all these monthly expenses set aside, is it bad to 'massage' the numbers even if I'm willing to manage the property on my own since that alone is 10% of rental income?

There also are going to be some banks that refuse to be creative and have a very small box and other banks that are up for being more creative, massaging their LTV, changing their rates if you will shorten your arm, etc.

I would play around with changing your minimum night stays to at least 4, using surge pricing on the weekends, or using something like PriceLabs "mid-term stay dynamic minimums" to massage the booking tendencies here.

I am also a massage therapist and have a private practice out of my house, so this isn't new territory for me either.

They don't work a "job" so they have the time to source the best foods, get 9 hours of sleep every night, get regular massages, etc.

Filming porn, massage parlors with happy endings, etc.

We have a few 'therapy dog' residents.

Trusting accounting statements which are almost always massaged is more risk than I care to incur.   

There are good topics here on BP regarding service and therapy animals.
