Hi Legacy—just sent you a connection request.

I've got a pretty healthy Vacation Rental property in Palm Springs that I've been managing for 4 years, so I don't have many questions at this time, but I sent a request to join your FB group.

Recommend you start putting more effort into your business or you won't succeed:)BTWL most PHCs will require 3-5 rental comparables to support any rent increase request.

I currently work as a consultant, on a project that deals with a lot of risk assessment, identifying pain points for my client in areas of improvement, along with these types tasks, there is a lot of tracking and monitoring of multiple different requests that are going on at one time, as well as having to manage my team and personal to ensure we are meeting all necessary suspenses.

No I have not been in person, and what you are describing is exactly what I'm worried about.I will say that I do have a contractor who I trust to do an honest thorough inspection (I requested several references who all gave positive feedback, and the one property I did ask him to inspect he found a major structural issue and immediately told me not to considering buying it).It seems like when most people run into trouble its because their estimates of vacancy, maintenance, capex were all too optimistic.
