He insists that he does not want to and is not going to live there now and went to the courts today and got a protective order against her.   

Thanks Hey Paul,It depends on who you are trying to appeal to.For example we did yard signs for rent to own properties we had and at the time (we were just starting out), we hand wrote "Rent-To-Own - Call ###-###-####" on them and they worked sufficiently. 

The court date is the 22nd and I might get a default judgement if they are a no show.So the real question is what to expect from Xcel.

I saw that Crazy documentary long time ago and it’s crazy how the authorities/court don’t even recognize these as bogus.  

We invested $30,000 in strategic renovations, enhancing the property's appeal and market value.

Homes that appeal to our target tenant segment range from $320,000 to $475,000, so the supply of housing we target remains almost the same regardless of how many new homes are built.DemandPopulation growth drives housing demand.

Review the contract for terms and procedure for default, if any are written.8- Keep a copy of their refusal to complete the work as Contractor Default, keep the final $5k as contractor default.9- Pay the new contractor to fish the job, let the Old contractor deal with trying to get the last 5k from small claims court, which they will likely fail to achieve.PS yes I blew past “what if permits are not signed off as complete” thats a PITA of its own thread.

We invested $18,000 in renovations to modernize the property and increase its appeal.

By making targeted upgrades and ensuring the property was well-maintained, I was able to enhance its appeal to prospective tenants, thereby increasing occupancy rates and rental income.

Also, you must familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations regarding STRs to avoid purchasing in areas that are not STR-friendly, which could save you from legal headaches and poor investment choices.Another critical strategy is staging your home to appeal to your target guests.
