You need a repair partner who can get out immediately and has quick access to replacement parts (if not already in stock). 

I definitely thought it was a scam but it was legit and easily one of my most profitable 1 night stays away from a pure revenue stand point.

i wish i had better news for you but it's probably not feasible in the short term to replace your W2 income with rental income. 

Seems like it’s more about adding tools to the toolbox rather than replacing them.Since you work with a lot of lenders, what trends are you seeing right now with BRRRR financing?

The repair was extensive and costly, requiring excavation (about 3x6 feet) to replace the broken section and clean up the mess.

We hope that you can remedy the situation so that we can move into a habitable home.Suggestions that we have to fix the issues:Hire a company to rip up the carpets, treat the subfloors, and replace the carpets, at least on the main level and on the stairs.Provide an air purifier as a start to remedying the smell.Replace the garbage disposal.Hire a plumber to fix the draining issue in the bathroom sink of the smaller bedroom.Fix the tiles in the upstairs bathroom so they no longer present a safety hazard.Replace or fix the screen doors.Fix the gap between the windows and the walls in the living room.Hire a professional company to treat the entire home for pests.

And how much money are you making in your current job that you would want to replace with your real estate income?  

The "purely code" stables, I wouldn't suggest.

I would not expect to replace your W2 income in the first year and would project it to take 2-5 years before you were able to replace it, unless you are sitting on around 3-5M right now.

I currently use the security deposit replacement and rental damage protection product from Waivo, which I accessed through my Furnished Finder dashboard for my mid-term rental (MTR).
