Their services were presented to me as a $99 a month flat fee for managing my property and he explained to me how they write a rock solid 11 page lease and help find tenants if we need a tenant.

Fast forward to maybe 2 to 3 months later and a mutual 3rd party friend who knew both me or my brother and the guy who got the place contacted one of us, not saying why this was but that we could have it for what he paid PLUS 5 grand, which quickly turned into just what he paid and I got the feeling this price was dropping like a rock!

Literally dead....Do you think the prices will decline way till elections and then in the spring rock and roll again?

I have another STR outside of Morrison, CO, where Red Rocks is, and it absolutely crushes it.

Otherwise it is nature and misquotoes , ticks, bees and spiders live outside. 

I'm naturally a nice person so its not that hard for me.

It's also in our nature to want to help.

Rock solid forecast

We do have access to a HELOC on the property which we leveraged to purchase our current primary residence (balance borrowed has been fully repaid at this point) but we would rather not pull that lever to roll into a new property given current interest rates and the adjustable nature of the HELOC. 

People are doing it, so presumably it works.FWIW, I invested in Japan for a few years, but lack of rent growth, lack of appreciation, concerns about natural disasters, and just general lack of confidence in the J market led me to shift focus only to the US.
