Do people take those credentials home with them and continue using your account. 

Just curious... what’s your ultimate goal for that office space..are you looking to boost resale value, or is it more about having a functional retreat above the garage?

In fact, invest outside Calif for sure.I suggest you continue to rent and buy an investment property first.

I realize this comes with the STR business but if I'm going to continue to use VRBO I need to find away to attract the "good" guests and minimize the bad ones.

@Michael BertschAs a general rule, we only leave a fireplace functional unless it has a sealed, externally vented, gas insert ... and, even then we may disconnect it.Check with your insurance provider and see how unhappy a functional fireplace in a rental makes them.

That is how I've operated for years, well before the NAR fiasco and as agents, we have always been advised from referring to status quo, standard, typical, etc when it relates to commissions.It continues to amaze me how many buyers/investors believe the agent value is finding them "deals."

If it's going to continue to be a 3 unit building, it would make sense to add another service.

I will continue to do my research and try to find a CPA that handles Texas and has a lower minimum I think.

@Fed Finjap now you're better prepared if you continue to scale and eventually hire a PMC!

All major flippers in town have heavily compressed ARV to accommodate for the potential of the downward slide to continue.
