Yeah, people have this vision of running any kind of rentals --
apartments, hotels, motels, B&Bs, rooming houses -- as just sitting in a
rocking chair, collecting money. They don't see all the time spent
snaking bottles of shampoo out of toilets, or re-attaching towel bars...

With *our* place, (and this is partially my fault for perpetuating the
"Bob Newhart" myth in a well-known magazine), I'm actually occasionally
asked what I do with "the rest of my time" -- the implication being that
SURELY running this little place isn't a full-time job.

Gee Jay,
I thought you sat in a chair,collected money while posting here, then bought
AVgas with it! ;-)

Seriously, I tried the rental thing at Lake O' the Ozarks and couldn't stand
it. My hat is off to those that can hack the clients, hours of work &
stress- AND earn a living doing it.
