There is a $200 cancellation fee to cover the extensive materials and supplies we give you when you join. 

There is steady supply of renters, "guaranteed" rent and the organization wants to continue to partner.

.-- The influx of STR supply has certainly brought down Airbnb revenues the last few years for everyone.

Hi Jemini, I would start by doing research in the markets you're interested in to see what the rents vs. purchase prices are along with looking at the supply and demand of the market. 

Infrastructure (eg water, sewer, electrical supply to the house) should be the landowners' responsibility. 

It comes down to supply and demand.

Appreciation is driven by demand outstripping supply, and cost of new supply. 

Additionally, the supply of homes for sale is constrained because of this and will be for some time putting upward pressure on prices in most markets.Thinking about renting your house in Seattle would be wise as someone else will pay the mortgage down, and rents and the value of the property will go up over time.

.--- Another lawsuit resulted from owner's contractor taking down basement handrail to get supplies down the steps, then they didn't put it back and tenant fell down the stairs.- We also negotiate a reasonable completion date, depending on the Scope Of Work (SOW). --- Who gets all the phone calls and wastes time calming a tenant down because the owner's contractor doesn't show up as scheduled after they took time off from work or a 3 day job takes 3 weeks?

Labor, supply chain (we are on an island) and red tape: from offers and closing, to funding to permits.
