Online platforms, industry conferences, and networking events are excellent sources for discovering new sponsors.

You simply have no credibility otherwise :) 

This is simply the reality of the paradigm we are living in today.

There was a hiccup when we discovered the seller's ex-wife still had a claim on the property and wasn’t willing to cooperate at first.

After my first purchase I quickly discovered that the fastest way to scale was through multi-family and so I set forth on a new path. 

Ignore their attitude (yes it can be hard) and either start with an eviction as they are in violation of their lease for non-payment (the $900 they owe) or simply do not renew their lease. 

Turns out in some cases comps were overly optimistic, in others inspections contradicted BPO’s, and in more than a few cases the closing date was so close to submission dates that we simply didn’t have time to do common sense due diligence.

The contingency reserve may be released only if required, necessary, and unforeseen repairs or deficiencies are discovered during the renovation.

That said, it could be that the location of your property has some sort of local ordinance that has a 90-day limit, and Airbnb is simply following that.

Does anyone know if the fire sprinkler system will be needed if I simply rezone the basement as part of the first unit?
