One reason I joined is because I genuinely needed the exact solution Baselane offers: a banking account that automatically categorizes rental transactions, streamlined reporting, and easy exports.

We had a walkthrough which I always offer for obvious damages (ie holes in the wall.).

Flexibility in Loan Terms: Josh offered a unique hybrid product that let my friend lock in a portion at a fixed rate while leaving the rest variable.

--reach out and thank them upon getting the booking and ask if they have any questions--send a "Welcome" email or automated message during the week prior to arrival--reach out the day after arrival to ask how everything was the first night and ask if there is anything that the property needs--reach out at the end of the stay (that morning or within 24 hours) and ask how everything was, anything to improve, anything to add to the house and then offer an incentive for returning guests.My 2 cents,Mike Absolutely stay in your place as Mike said.You will see things the cleaners will never let you know about.We stayed in our PF will putting up the Christmas decorations and found a cracked plastic shelf in the fridge. 

Don't be afraid to look at other markets since you are not married some states offer better purchase to cash flow ratios.States like Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida etc.   

It’s hit and miss, really need to deeply understand what they offer, if they will work for you or against you, whether they sign the lease or you (I prefer me, to reduce that lock jn). 

Many companies offer 300K max and above that they'd need an umbrella. 

Hi michaelI've been using orign8 at $250/month and they have a lot more to offer like lead gen, automation, missed call text back, basically an all-in-one inside sales marketer. but I don't know if it's available in your area. 

I'd link up with some of the awesome agents above like @Eudith Vacio or @Edgar Barbosa and have them guide you through the city and what it has to offer based on your buying criteria.

If someone instead offered 35k to assume the loan and deed to the property, what are the hurdles to that deal?
