@Matt Weddon, I try not to even think about those types of things UNLESS there is objective documentation or they admit to doing something specific.

Hii I am a first time investor trying to understand if Austin is a good market to buy a SFH and rent.

I’ve tried VRBO and Furnished Finder, but they didn’t perform well in my market.

I am more likely to take a risk, but i suspect when my husband is out from under a controlling baby mama, he won’t mind a little risk either.I love Texas, try to vacation there often and my husband is aligned with Texas farm property as a ten year long term goal.I’m also passionate about the trades and if i could do it all again I’d be part owner of some kind of builder or remodeler or specialty trades business. 

You aren't trying to nickel and dime people but just to curb abuse so it should be generous.

I would say you're rolling the dice with that neighborhood and the street trying to push LUX.  

Some try to charge an up front fee.

I'm using Minoan to furnish a luxury STR and it's been incredible, and I am actively trying to find a way to better leverage their service. 

I've tried to include relative information, without writing a novel. 

@Hellen Sut in Michigan, once we have a money judgment, we try to garnish: wages, bank accounts and their state tax refund.
