My partner and I had a discussion as to which one would be preferred when I brought it up that not everyone frequents those places.

(As in I get no reservations when I have them, so I eat the cost of cleaning and make almost no money for a 1 night stay which is a very frequent reservation request.)

How frequently (if ever) did you receive noise / neighbor complaints about them? 

I know that workers in Colorado frequently can't afford to live in the ski areas where they work - they have to commute long distances.

I've been told that deals frequently fall through at the last minute if I don't use the right lender.  

@George Ozoude,Here is a list of self-directed IRA companies that BP has put together:https://www.biggerpockets.com/rei/self-directed-ir...Also, the topic of self-directed IRA is a frequent discussion on "Tax, Legal Issues, Contracts, Self-Directed IRA" forum category, the link to it is below, you may want to search there for related discussions (there are some good ones), the results may keep you busy reading for hours:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51-tax-legal-...Hope this helps!

From everything I've read, this should be covered by a landlord insurance policy that covers damage done by tenants (specifically, this tends to be categorized as Vandalism because the tenant is knowingly doing damage to your property).Here are some photos of the aftermathtldr; A tenant smoking meth cost my colleague over $25,000.The key takeaways here I believe are: 1) get a good insurance policy, being stingy might cost you years worth of profit, 2) screen your tenants well and inspect frequently (especially for lower class properties), and 3) be prepared for unexpected costs, this might be a rarer case but **** happens.Also I'm not a lawyer or insurance expert so you should consult professionals with regards to your state laws and local insurance policies to figure out how to cover yourself from a situation like this.I'm interested to hear if any of you have had to deal with something similar and also any suggestions you might have.

@Alexander Hamilton mail them until they tell you to stop. no more frequently than once a month.

In my experience, Jonathan can take RDU Broker to a recommendable level by: (1) Investing in client expectation setting; (2) Setting resident/property check-ins on regular intervals & after critical weather; (3) Moving the self-service portal to more frequent updates.In the beginning, I hoped to experience a great relationship with RDU Broker.

It is unfortunate that you offered them a new lease recently so all that you can do is frequently inspect the property since you can’t trust them to notify you of needed repairs.
