If anyone here has ever been in my shoes – coming to this country as a complete newcomer with a “suitcase” full of experience, trying to rebuild everything from absolute zero – I’d really appreciate any advice or pointers you can share.My goal is to build my own real estate portfolio that I can manage myself, generate rental income from, and partially use for my own business in the automotive and children’s entertainment space.

Like no spot to put a suitcase, nowhere to hang towels, or not enough lighting in the bedroom.It’s those little overlooked things that show up loud and clear in guest reviews.Designing for how people live and move through a space is just as important as how it looks!

You'd have to have a suitcase just to carry sheets, pillowcases, etc.

A place might look amazing in listing photos with bold accent walls and trendy furniture but once a guest arrives, they realize there’s no spot to put a suitcase, not enough lighting to read in bed, or nowhere comfortable to sit and relax.A lot of this can be solved by the suggestions above from & @John Underwood & @Mike Grudzien.Think like a guest.

For anything that can fit in a suitcase, shoot for "value" grade items that are good quality/durable and pleasant to use, but not luxury, because if it's too nice and unique someone will help themselves to it.

That means: all repairs complete, cleaned, and ready for someone to walk in with a suitcase.

The individuals just bring a suitcase and move in.

Unique pieces are great for "Flair" and individuating your property but if it fits in a suitcase and isn't fixed to the wall or floor then it will not be long for your STR.

I'm just going to fly back with two suitcases full of locks.

Because if I were that good old boy, I'd run to Europe with a couple suitcases of cash while my passport was still good, maybe set up in Amsterdam to catch the tail of the tulips season.
