Here on the Oregon Coast, I would attest to that accuracy based on the review of hundreds of financial statements for active oregon coast vacation rentals and the performance of nearly two dozen STR investors and operators we've helped acquire properties within the past three years. 

Also, good point about it potentially being more than the estimated 3 days once they get in there, I hope not.With all that being said, I am trying to be as unbiased and remove our “history” so to speak with these tenants regarding our decision for reimbursement, and making it purely about what is legally required and appropriate given the repair.

Also network with local investors to get unbiased feedback (not anyone trying to sell you anything).

Review the New POS Report: Examine the new POS report thoroughly to understand the scope of the violations and the estimated cost of repairs.2.

Make sure to bring in a good sewer cleaning/ scoping company and have someone with experience review the video they take.

Reputation Most lenders that I work with have excellent and honest reviews on Google.

(is there any reviews or history on his business online)The inspector that said 70+ is probably one of those everything needs to be replaced don't risk type, however will probably be the more expensive guy.

I've been on teams that reviewed a bunch of CRMs and it mostly came down to what someone had used in the past, for the sales people, and how much it costs, for the managers.

You can also search Google and read reviews.

The underlying issue is like you said: true unbiased journalism is extinct and has devolved into rivaling echo chambers vying for clicks to sell ads.
