Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

I rent STR mostly through airbnb which acts as a rental manager and I have an assistant that I personally hired to flip/clean the units and also on site for renovations.

So far there is some indication of a little uptick for 2025 booking - I've already booked out a few weeks beyond the winter, which is when I go down and take care of maintenance and repairs - and in the summer, but traffic and inquiries are way, way down.If you feel like seeing a blood bath, just pull up the MLS and look at the Margaritaville development.

Currently I'm using propstream, I was having some issues getting my account with batchleads set up and their service hasn't really been the best with assistance.

To: Dion DePaoliCan you tell me how I find those real estate attorneys with some experience in assisting an investor in purchasing bank notes?

Was able to negotiate some seller concessions based on a comprehensive property inspection and several needed repairs.

Painting walls, updating fixtures, or handling minor repairs yourself can save thousands upfront.Consider Your Exit Strategy: You’ve got the right idea;house hack for 1-2 years, then convert the property into a long-term rental.

@Hsin-I Hsu  Owning a $2.5M house can be an expensive commitment, not just because of the upfront down payment but also due to the ongoing expenses for repairs, maintenance, and upgrades that inevitably come with homeownership.Renting at $5K a month, especially for a 4-bedroom house in the Bay Area, seems like a solid deal.

I have enough personal income that I can pay for cap ex and repairs if I need to (most people can't, and shouldn't, do this unless their W2 income can support it).

Initially, they were not inclined to assist.
