Or the listing agent includes it in the property info on their website, or shares it when a showing is scheduled.

So I disputed the additional charge. 

In setting up the platform I have connected with someone local in the area and that will be my 1st point of contact and I could share his info for you to reach out.

@Kenzer Hodgson For your STR, an umbrella policy can provide liability coverage, but an LLC offers additional asset protection by separating your personal and business assets, which can be valuable in case of lawsuits or audits.

Perhaps you could consider hard money in addition to private money?

My contact info is in my bio as well.Good luck!

Thank you all for this helpful info thus far!

@Ethan Slater here's some info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

When its included in a lease for real estate then the laws pertaining to residential rental security deposits in your state apply but when its separate you should have more leeway to get some additional deposit to protect you.

Yes, I’ll check with regional building, but curious for additional thoughts here.
