@Steve Hodgdon Thanks, I just started listening to his podcast and watching his videos on youtube.

ANy new info that you can submit after 3 years?

I'm not sure if this guy even kept books for his car washes because when I asked for the financials, the listing agent literally emailed me a piece of paper that had some numbers written down so I told him I wanted copies of the actual income tax returns that he submitted to the IRS and he sent that over so that is where I got the numbers from.

This video seems to be atleast 2 years old.

I watched RETipsters YouTube videos and his BP interview and just jumped in.  

You might be able to make an agreement with the person who is helping you purchase the property to check on it weekly/video calls with you and compensate them for going out.

Turning the pool table loft area into a full-on game room, or maybe even doing a projector screen with a home theater or video gaming set-up there - that could be a huge selling point for families looking to book a stay with amenities and spaces that will help keep their kids occupied and entertained.One note on the existing hot tub: having an awesome, well-running, clean hot tub can definitely help you command a nice premium on your STR bookings. 

See Facebook and Insta for video updates.

But filing plans mirroring what I have, with slight modifications cost me $6,000, which incudes my expeditor fee, something around $2,500 including the architectural plans I had to submit.
