Rough start to our first STR

Nathan Leland
Posted

My wife and I finally made the leap and closed escrow on our first STR home last Friday at 2:03pm, the Oak Fire started 7 minutes later, and (it appears) that the house burned down 24 hours later...we never got the keys. It is too soon to know definitively but there is enough evidence to suggest the worst. Once we can get access will assess and come up with a plan.

In the meantime, I would love to hear from anyone that faced a similar situation. What silver linings were found, etc...

Best,

Nathan

(here's a comp of where we were going with the entry (ignore the driveway)
