Welcome in the community! Let me know if you need help estimating a rehab. Insurance companies pay me to do it for them. I can typically give you ballpark based on just zillow pics.

John Webster it appears to me that the reason the guru lessons work is for the same reasons expensive gym memberships do because of the work put in. Some people put the work in at the expensive, some don’t. I guess the beef with lots of guru classes is that we can do the exact same pushups at BiggerPockets as we can at an Equinox.

I know I'm late to the thread but for future reference. Check out AirDNA.com

They are the authority when it comes to AirBnb numbers. Nashville, TN and Palm Springs, CA are hot for AirBnb at the moment.

Here's a podcast episode on the matter:

The comment about Nigerian trolls spamming BP reminded me of this hilarious ted talk about what happens when you start responding to scammers :) https://ted.com/talks/james_veitch_this_is_what_happens_when_you_reply_to_spam_email?utm_source=sms&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tedspread

Im a roof inspector for hail and wind damage. Metal hands down. Sounds like you are getting a good deal. When talking about metal i hope we are talking about standing seem metal and not say metal shingles, because that stuff again is awful.

Manolo D. I obviously am not a decision maker on the matter but here are my two cents. Buy a Paul Davis franchise or a ServPro franchise, someone who already has program vendor contract. Thats probably the easiest way to do it. Other than that, i see that basically every vendor working for insurance comes in through water mitigation or other quick response restoration work. That way they are already helping the customers and that way theyll have a way to sell more rebuilds too. Let’s take the convo to PM if youd like more input.
