I don't know the specifics of your state, but in Mississippi, my property manager has filled for garnishment for the amount of rent that is owed.

It's all about building trust and relationships, and in the long run, that will pay off way more than just trying to squezze a specific deal.

If you have specific questions about property management, I'll be happy to help!

Would be very interested to hear from experienced investors on your thoughts for these two areas specifically. 

Feel free to DM if you have any specific questions. 

After they asses what all needs replacing or what they feel needs replacing they'll submit to you what they're willing to cover and deductibles and payments etc. 

Beverly can you be more specific on what kind of messages does it send the tenants?

Our differences is we still need counsel in other states, but if it was state specific I would look at overall:1.

But if you have a cash buyer who is specifically looking for income property, and even more specifically a vacation rental property,  I firmly believe that there is a value add from having a working STR there.

It could be some sort of skill set for renovations, design for furnished rentals, specific market knowledge, owner occupied loan products for a house hack, etc.
