Most markets will have some sort of local STR host group on Facebook you can join, or I would even do a quick search via Airbnb and find a host that way and message them and ask them to lunch or coffee to pick their brain.

Or, better yet, have them go to Home Depot and pick everything up, then have the pro desk call you for the charge.

Show some cherry picked comps and be specific on why the value should be lowered, making sure to site current condition if anything needs upgrades, etc.

I've heard of mentees who started cleaning up construction areas on a flip at the end of each work day or picking up supplies at Home Depot and delivering them to the job site.

A majority of our deals are off market, but we will pick up an on market deal if the numbers work. 

If the estimates are higher or pick up things I didn't think of I can either back out of the deal or renegotiate based on inspection items. 

So who in the area is having more luck than us and wouldn't mind a few free lunches and dinners on us to pick you brains.  

just to be realistic i think it would be tough to just pick one up on a 'break.' 

I've had success selling the vacant land I'm picking up on Facebook Marketplace but recently it seems to have really slowed down. 

Pick up a receptacle tester—available from most retail stores for less than $10.
