Further, asking for a contingent fee agreement will get you a bottom-line, thorough evaluation of your case.

What it takes to thoroughly clean after a move-out including pets is not an easy task.

@Daniel CurtinThanks so much for the interest in my company.This topic has been thoroughly discussed for over a decade on BP.

It's crucial to conduct thorough research and build a reliable team on the ground to ensure success.Do you have a specific out-of-state market in mind, or are you considering multiple options?

I'd recommend just reading the policy thoroughly whether you've got an issue or not.I'll also add, being a super host helps.

I will share my "Most Expensive Lesson" in the comments.To kick things off, here are ten examples of expensive lessons or mistakes in real estate investing:Underestimated Repairs: The classic pitfall where the cost of repairs and renovations far exceeds initial estimates, impacting the overall budget and profitability.Tax Liens: Failing to account for or being unaware of existing tax liens on a property can result in unexpected financial burdens.Contractor Liens: Not settling payments or disputes with contractors can lead to liens against your property, complicating sales or refinancing.HOA Fines: Overlooking or violating Homeowners Association (HOA) rules can lead to significant fines and headaches.Bad Loan Products: Opting for loan products without fully understanding their terms can lead to unfavorable financial conditions, such as higher interest rates or unfavorable repayment terms.Ignoring Zoning Laws: Investing in a property without a clear understanding of local zoning laws may restrict its use, affecting your investment strategy.Overpaying for a Property: Lack of research or getting caught in a bidding war can result in paying much more than the property's worth.Neglecting Due Diligence: Skipping thorough inspections and background checks can uncover unpleasant surprises after the purchase is finalized.Poor Tenant Screening: Failing to properly screen tenants can lead to unpaid rent, property damage, and costly evictions.Underestimating Market Risk: Not considering market fluctuations can lead to investments that don't pay off as expected, especially in volatile or declining markets.We've all been there in one way or another, facing setbacks that seemed daunting at the time.

Thank you so much David for the thorough response.

Re: Hard money I've never done a hard money loan before so I'm being as thorough as possible. 

Conduct thorough market research, assess the demand for rentals in that area, and analyze the potential returns on investment.If you determine that the property has strong rental potential and you are willing to build a remote management team, keeping it as a rental property could be a viable option.

Thank you so much for the thorough assessment of the lease and situation.
