So when we factored in her time, the turnover, guest communication, and the occasional guest-related disaster… it just didn’t feel worth the squeeze anymore.

Did you previously list the home on an occasional use only?

I had said I didn't mind picking one or two up occasionally that get overlooked, but no more.I am leaning towards switching to a zero-poop policy in the new lease and putting him on notice that I will be enforcing it strictly.Thanks.

I see the fear (And feel it a little) but I am being greedy.I’m doing more wholesaling/flips for now, and occasionally taking down BRRRRs when the numbers make sense.

A lot of owners build that into their cleaning fee or tip them extra for managing inventory.Stock up in bulk between guest staysIf you visit the property occasionally, it’s worth using that time to load up on essentials (TP, soap, trash bags, etc.) and lock them in an owner’s closet.

It's a win for both parties, as the credit I give is always above what utilities I could possibly use for lights and the occasional receptacle needed for repairs, and it saves me from having the connection fee for an account each month. 

I had a few rentals that I owned with a partner (just sold) and do occasional mailings for cash purchases.

Occasionally we'd get calls from the asset managers asking about the POF  Some of those calls led to discussions about other property in their inventory, which led to other opportunities. 

Columbus overall is still a great rental market—strong demand, solid job and population growth—but even the best markets come with occasional tough tenants.

The only inconvenience is the occasional time a modem would need a power cycle, which wasn't often enough to warrant any changes.
