We'll be arriving Friday evening so we'll have some time at the hotel before things start.

I know what specifics I’ll need to look at in each market I consider... but I don’t know how to even arrive at the “considering” stage without a starting point.

@Taseen RanginwalaHere's a page from NYC finance department  NYC assessed values where I am on how the assessed value is arrived at.

I’ve been reaching out to a lot of people in IG there as well and am hoping to meet up with them and attend the local meetups when I arrive

I'd like a second opinion on advising on rehab trims vs. value and arriving at an accurate ARV (BRRRR is the strategy I'm using).

You have to do your own numbers and guess what your appreciation will be to arrive at what is the best return for you.In my rentals I prefer granite in the kitchen and porcelain in the bath.

We just ask them to text us a pic of the DL when they arrive at the house and to text us when they leave.

He mentions being responsive but this is referring to quickly and efficiently managing issues as they arrive.  

I wonder if this could affect vacation rentals, i.e. a guest arrives with a dog, and even though we clearly state on AIR and VRBO that pets are not allowed, here they are anyway.

That is all I use (other than direct communication with guests before they arrive).I tell ya you can do it.
