🤩Update & Win: We just signed a 12 month lease for a corporate client for our Louisiana home. Since we started last year and had our first insurance booking, we had really been struggling getting insurance leads and inquiries. Since April, we maybe got 3 insurance leads. Not sure why & also still trying to learn the market the home is in. Summer months I fell back on some shorter stays, and was able to acomodate some corporate clients. This lead found me on zillow, 1 person, no pets. We negotiated a price for 12 months. This is my only property so feels funny booking it up but also a blessing!🥂

Good day today! Wanted to share an update on our 3/3 home in Oklahoma. Our current tenant was placed through an insurance lease matching company for 3 months, with the lease under the company's name not the tenant. Their insurance housing allowance ran out, but the tenant contacted me directly requesting a 5 day extension starting today. I agreed, but only through Airbnb so we'd have some additional protection and a documented reservation. Can't have someone in our home with without lease or protection. They're scheduled to vacate on 10/26. We inspected the home two days ago, and it was in perfect condition. So awesome. The home was exactly how they moved in. Even better news: We secured our next tenant! It's a Medical relocation, with an initial 3 mo lease then month-to-month until their new home is ready. I completed the screening: Screening done through SmartMove, it's great! - FICO score: 834 - Verified employment and $162K annual income (we called the hospital) - $3,000 security deposit, because they have a cat - Signed lease and deposit received today! Very happy with how this worked out. We avoided a vacancy, secured a well qualified tenant, and have a smooth transition lined up. Another reminder of why I love this MTR model! Need 4 more homes.

Let me know if anyone has experience in evaluating whether a small town you live in can support an iMTR. (Sioux Center IA, think like 10k size, but thriving family based community) Please ping me if you'd like to coach me through this! Thanks! I'm trying to determine what the possible success is of doing something local, how to evaluate based on basically no other relative MTR data, and if and when I should just move onto researching larger cities that are further away... i.e. Sioux Falls SD, Omaha NE. Also could use help on evaluating these larger two cities as well!

I have a request on AirBnB for a family with dogs. They did not select that they had dogs with the request to book. How do I ensure their pets are listed and they are paying the pet fee? Happy Pumpkin Season! P.S. It really is a glorious morning in TN. :)

During last week's Zoom we asked if Proper would cover our property if it were leased to a corporation. I reached out to my rep at Proper and she advised me that so long as it was a short or mid-term lease it didn't matted who it was leased to, either individuals or a corporation. So for those who wanted to know, there you go!
