The road to recovery is long, messy, and full of setbacks—but it also taught us something important: with the right support and determination, rebuilding isn’t just possible—it can create stronger, more resilient communities.Now, as wildfires tear through LA, I want to share the lessons we learned to help others rebuild with hope and purpose.

Dave Meyer and Henry Washington shared their opinions on purchasing a deal sight-unseen in yesterday's episode of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast: How to Buy Multiple Rental Properties a Year (Is It Possible?)

Thanks for sharing!

I offered a month’s rent in addition to what was reasonable for loss of use of 7 weeks of garage and 2 weeks of kitchen/bathroom unavailability (adjusted for back rent for unauthorized pet) but no response from tenant other than pursuing legal option unless I share Landlord insurance details.

@Chris Lounsbury @Dawid Yhisreal @Pete Tredwell @Moises R CosmeI want to thank each of you for sharing your experience.

Thanks for sharing!

@Christopher StevensI appreciate your sharing your experiences so far. 

The GC and the sub ended up sharing in the cost mostly (I think) because it was better than the finger pointing game that had already started, and realistically the attorney's were the only ones about to win...

I share an example in my book where five people wanted to rent a 5bed/3bath house (one boyfriend/girlfriend, and three other friends).

We just started managing 4 tiny homes on 1 lot with a shared pool and they are booking great at a rate commensurate with larger homes.
