The Top 5 Mistakes Owners Make

The Only Team Owners, Tips

Being a property owner is much more than owning an apartment and making it available to guests. There are many details to be taken care of, which we sometimes fail to address. We don’t need to be experts in the field but it helps to be aware of some basic guidelines so we don’t make certain mistakes that could potentially be fatal. Here are some of the mistakes we should avoid at all costs: Not compare ourselves with our competitors One of the first essential steps in any business venture is to know your competitors: what they offer, how they offer it, and for how much. It is always helpful to have a look at some of the apartments available in our same city, and try to be as competitive as possible, not just when it comes to quality but also to pricing.

Besides, there are about one thousand things to do for a perfect and easy day out, be it with your family, love interest, or friends. But what better plan than spending time outdoors? These are some of the activities you can’t miss out on… Film Festivals Suitable for all audiences and mostly free of charge- film festivals are a most welcome night out when the evenings start to get warmer. Barcelona Barcelona’s Sala Montjuïc will be screening shorts and hosting picnics and concerts from July 4th to August 7th, in addition to full length feature films such as The Great Budapest Hotel, Boyhood or Her (all in their subtitled original version). Tickets are sold in packs that include a movie night, a short screening, and a concert (and in a nod to all couch potatoes out there, there are lounge chairs for rent). There’s also the option to add a guided tour of Montjuïc Castle to the pack for a small surcharge. London Similar festivals are also held in London all summer long. One of the most remarkable ones is perhaps Luna Cinema, held from July 1st to September 20th, at amazing locations all over the city: from royal palaces, to large green... read more
