Imagine if it cost 1000 to send out 50 letters but half of them responded and half of those wanted an offer and half of those accepted an offer and half of those closed and half of those resold for a net 50k. 

Keeping half in the business ($17,500) to reinvest is smart.

With over half a decade of working for mid-sized accounting organizations specializing in financial reporting, budget/forecasting, and compliance.

Seems like about half the population has pets these days, so by NOT allowing them, you are cutting potential bookings by half - maybe more, since a pet owner is more likely to go STR versus hotel.

My listings have only been active for about a week and a half.

Some duplex units are set up as zero lot line properties where instead of owning one unit in a 2-unit condo association and the condo assoc. owns the building, you actually own your half of the building and land. 

I’m considering selling it and selling my primary residence to build a duplex where I’ll live in half and rent half. 

Half of the duplex as an investment exchange and the other half as a residence for cash. 

That half bathroom added ~$50k of value per the comps (mission beach, 3 units from the ocean).  

I read it after I had already done maybe a half dozen brrrrs.
