I also find that depending on the tenant, my one Airbnb property has less wear and tear because it's constantly cleaned and maintained versus my other rentals where the families living there settle in and accumulate stuff - which makes it hard to deep clean regularly (to my liking) as well as just the constant daily wear and tear from kids etc. 

@Randall Alan Mark Zandi, one of my go-to economists, has also said that the rates should settle between 5.5-6% (https://www.cnbc.com/video/2023/11/27/mortgage-rates-will-se...).

When the transaction closes, the purchase is funded, and we set aside additional funds in an escrow account to pay predetermined professionals to make any required or desired repairs or upgrades to a property AFTER the buyers settle on the purchase transaction.

I've been involved in a lawsuit that settled right at a million dollars, and that was over 20 years ago.

I’m losing hope of this settling out pre-litigation.

Now that we have that settled and all agree transferring debt does not change anything for the better I want to propose HOW to ACTUALLY MAKE this SCHEME work. 

And be sure you have the ability to fire them at will and settle up so if they aren't progressing how you would expect, you can move on without paying huge penalties or in some cases not having any way of being able to fire them at all (some of the builders' contracts are ridiculously in their favor). 

I’m quite a relaxed person and rarely get upset, so everything’s good.Regarding international investments (and I hope this settles the matter 😉), my intention was not to compare Southern Spain and Southern Italy as equals, especially in the context of the U.S. market.

If I am not paid at each stage no work will continue until the balance is settled.

A few things have changed since I posted that two years ago; what settled out is that no more than two unrelated occupants can live outside of R3.
