Hi Elizabeth - I know how tough it can be to manage laundry for a 6BR rental, especially with high-quality linens and tight turnarounds.

BRRRR is still doable but is very, very tough right now. 

Hmmm this is a tough one.

But just hating on wholesaling in a wholesaling forum is so unbelievably pointless. its not dead per se  but it is starting to be regulated as it should.. oregon just passed their version. where to wholesale you now need a license and over site by the RE commission.. along with criminal back ground and a BOND.. and as we know not everyone can pass either of those with the bond being the tough one if you have bad credit your not getting a bond.

@Monty Alston sorry to hear about the tough situation that you are in but glad you are being proactive about it.

That’s a tough call, but a good problem to have—congrats on your first STR!
