I spoke with the watch commander and they're very aware of the situation, so I asked if they'd do an area check in the evenings as another possible way to catch them in the act.

(nothing against a nooner, but don't want to deal with cleaning that up)Presumably this is something one would want to do in conjunction with nightly rentals, as the nightly rentals obviously command a much higher rate, but trying to coordinate cleanings and check-ins/outs on that scale is way too much hassle IMO.  

My vote is to either save up for a nicer property that will command a better rate and higher occupancy, or keep doing what you're doing and vacation at the beach. :)  

Of course, if no maintenance has been deferred and you ave a higher quality renovation, you may be able to command a higher rent and attract a higher quality of qualified resident.  

We also provide some Command sticky hangers at move in, and ask renters to use them instead of putting holes in the walls for hanging pictures etc.  

I think the reason a lot of investors go high end in single family homes could be because you only have one unit, so the profit margins are squeezed, in order to turn a nice profit, you must command higher rents.

Is it typical for larger homes to  command a higher LTV(80-85%)  from cash buyers since the potential profit is larger dollar wise?

I commander that you learn more and more.

(I blame only myself)I had a significant other who at the time commanded loads of attention and I thought “well, I’m a baller now...

Roughly, what street location would command 7% cap rate in that area.
