Thanks. How does one assess “over improvement?”

Hi,
I have a professional design for some significant landscaping on my STR beach home in Texas. Three contractors are estimating between $250K and $350K. I need to finance but don't have much equity in the house as I just purchased it. I'm a high income earner and expect to be able to pay the loan back fully within two years.

I’m looking at a property in greater LA (Burbank the closest airport). It’s a a bit of a desolate area that truckers pass through.
I’m thinking of having a co-living set up where I would rent to truckers by the room. There’s also an adjacent empty lot where truckers can park their vehicles.
Looking for a property manager who could manage this somewhat unique set up. Thanks in advance did any referrals !

I'm closing on an STR in Texas (I live in California). I purchased with conventional and the lender doesn't allow me to transfer to my LLC.
Is there a way for me to lease the property to my business ? Do I need to?

Quote from @Joseph Sauer:
Hi Kwanza!
Yes, VRBO allows you to arrange the photos. The app and websites are way less user friendly than Airbnb though, so it's kind of a pain 😅
On the app, you push the "property details" button from the three line drop down menu on the bottom right corner, choose the property you want to edit, and then push the "edit photos" button towards the top right of the page.
it's been a while since I've got to the VRBO owners site on a computer, but I believe it's a similar process, except there are tabs, but there should be an "edit photos" or "arrange photos" tab that allows you to move the photos around.
Sorry I can't be more detailed with the website. Hope this helps though! Best of luck setting up your listing!
Thanks!

Does VRBO’s functionality allow one to organize the order of their photos ?
