We have worked hard over the last 15 years building the business from the ground up. We have continually re-invested in the business and made it grow from a one house operation. While we have held weddings, church groups and corporate events we haven't targeted those groups. The person with some marketing skills will have a business that has great growth potential.
My focus over the course of time has been to build the foundation of the business. We worked tirelessly with a small crew to build what you see here today. My fortay is geared more to that aspect of the business than marketing and strategic planning.
Which do you like best? Upper one or this?
Which do you prefer, upper or this?
We've spent the last decade building and reinvesting into our business, but as we age, we're looking to get in the hands of someone that has the energy to really make it go. We've built a loyal and respectful customer base that has helped us dramatically reduced our reliance on advertising with outside agencies. About 70% of our renters rent from us again in the future.
Having built these homes ourselves, we struggle to treat them like a business: we rarely allow pets, we're perhaps a bit too strict on occupancy levels, and we turn down a fair number of rental requests. While they've provided us a very nice income, we think someone more business minded could expand considerably.
