I would say very honest PMs who walked my Indy properties (after the I closed on the homes) or at least knew that neighborhood and an honest construction management company were very helpful - they all said I better add in a lot more reserves to the repairs and cap ex for old Class C.

Once closed contact Airbnb and tell them the situation, having all reservation codes ready. 

The trip to store well that depends on where u live.

You want to make sure that on the rehab side that you aren't stretching your reserves too thin.

Typically they'll look for additional reserve funds in your name to make sure you can still complete the project in case it goes over budget.

Long store short, I have a duplex on a 45 acre farm in rural Virginia.

I understand your concerns but you still have to have the funds to put the down payment down and have 3-6 months of reserves unless you are experienced.

This can be a bit of a pickle, especially if you’re tight on cash reserves and both units aren't rented for a period.If you’re considering cash for keys, there are various ways to approach it, depending on how open the tenants are to the idea.

Not having enough reserves is hurting a lot of operators right now.You can always implement Ratio Billing for the utilities and bill back.Be careful with unit sizes, and if there is central air or PTAC systems when getting market rental comps.Looks like you've got an opportunityGino
