I successfully eliminated all types of crawling pests larger than an ant from a duplex we own by physically sealing all holes that I found with caulk or even that nasty yellow gap filler stuff for larger areas. 

Good owners, you won't have any damage, but bad owners.. well if you ignore a dogs emotional or physical needs, your property will suffer, so just make sure you're aware of it.   

My main concern is that I don't have any construction background and I have never rehabbed a property before so I don't have any real world experience regarding the costs associated in doing so.Once I find a deal that looks promising on paper and I physically go walk the property with my realtor how am I supposed to determine a rehab estimate without any prior experience? 

You won't know until you physically check on your property. 

That requires a physical presence.

With town homes, you own the physical structure and the land upon which it sits.

this was physically painful to read.but congrats on the sale/deal!

I know it is illegal to discriminate, but has anyone purposely created a STR for physically handicapped vacationers?

It comes down to the format of how the address is written; I once had someone ask if the mailing address I provided was my physical address.

Within those 5 years, who physically has that notarized Land Contract in his hand?
