I know cash flow is tough to come by right now, even harder when adding in the HELOC to the DS, so I'm curious about what it would take to refinance a property on closing day?

Your test ad doesn't mean this house is a great STR.

@Jay Hinrichs wouldn't eliminating Brokers decrease competition, and access to competitive offerings? 

This would eliminate the stress of managing the 45 day identification period.

The city is eliminating a significant amount of parking near the cross walks.  

This benefits you now and in the future.Key is to develop a checklist and keep adding to it.  

If your parents have a Revocable Living Trust then the property would be deeded to them, depending on what their decisions are within that Trust, you can be added on at the beneficiary of that property.

We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

I think you're not adding in closing costs to the PP, due diligence/reports/legal?

I would also look at some ads, maybe even call on some ads and ask what the requirements are to see what others in this area are charging.
