I haven't booked anyone from FF this past year, but I might keep one unit open to keep the conversation open.

We make people take photos of themselves holding their ID and then I also meet them in person for the showing - at least for my units on the NW side of Chicago.I've never heard of these testers, but I am not surprised. 

Better to spend $60-80k for a conversion than over 120k.  

I love talking personal finance and real estate investing so I would be happy to help.

$85K seems extremely low for a garage conversion.

I am not a realtor, so I cannot give advice as though I am one, but there are some guidelines that I have used personally over the years, with great success.

I have known and worked with Matt for years.I have attended his training and hired him as a consultant.He is hands down the best at what he does.I have personally raised over $50 million for my hard money lending company.I am grateful for a lot of people who helping me with this success and Matt is at or near the top of that list.

Just my personal opinion - get a mentor or a person who already has good experience running STR business, preferably in your area (but not 100% required). 

If it's a consultation with him personally - it should be very valuable.
