Depends on what other resources he has, both financial and personal. 

Hi @Paul Rook, I don't have any experience with the company you mentioned but a handy resource for homeowners to check ANY contractor or trades person is lni.wa.gov.

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

Any tips for a first time investor would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I'm wondering anyone aware of a resource that would provide alternative options for a property that is currently listed on Airbnb? 

@Jay Hinrichs always has some helpful tips/advice/observations.

You’ll find a lot of experienced investors here who can help with tips, and I’m sure your own insights will add value to the community too.

The Property Management Mastermind podcast and Facebook group are fantastic resources.

They have stepped in to cover repairs for me, pressured mngt to do the same, introduced me to other PM teams that would perform better, shared multiple resources with me to assist with the sale of the properties and have spent ample time helping me strategize overall about what to do with these properties.

Thanks so much for any tips in advance,Kristin
