Hi Nico,Thank you for your post, You mentioned that hiring a few virtual assistants (VAs) to cold call has been effective, and that text messaging is also performing decently,I specialize in identifying and revitalizing unique properties—those that are not typical, for example, I recently spotted a triangle-shaped property that has the potential to be transformed into something beautiful and valuable, either for living or resale, Could you please share your approach and any guidance you might have on the process of using virtual assistants (VAs) to cold call and the text messaging strategies that have been effective for you?

It might help to connect with local property managers who handle STRs to get a sense of what types of properties perform best. 

DisclaimerI am not a title company, and I strongly recommend hiring a professional title company to perform thorough due diligence.

ROI and cash flow only predict how a property is likely to perform on day one of a lifetime hold.

The lease agreement has a clause that acknowledges that the property is part of an HOA and that tenant indemnifies the landlord from non-performance ("hold harmless" clause).

Buyer is aware that seller intends to perform an IRS Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange .

The contract expired which is why they were striking. the storm happened to hit at the same time, no difference than any other union like sports leagues etc., they strike when the contract expires. 

Pay for performance.  1st one is always at full price, if you want to discount a bit on future deals is your decision depending perhaps on the volume and the amount of work required. 

Performance Metrics: - What metrics do you track to measure the performance of my property?

Compared to pre-TCJA rules, there is no material change in the tax treatment of a building involved in a like-kind exchange, where a cost segregation study has been performed.
