@Marc Rice - that seems to be an accurate assessment, and I’d fire the fat old guy who’s responsible, but I’d miss me.

Any body can refer me to an excellent RE mentor?

The white body and black trim was/is popular in SoCal...

Cash is like the blood flow through your body.  

If they cannot agree, the referees shall at once appoint an umpire, and the award by a majority of such body shall be made within 10 days after the appointment of the umpire and shall be final between the parties.

And as far as the relationship advise, is that kinda like saying "hey you know your girlfriend kinda looks fat in that dress, you should probably tell her that" or something along those lines? 

If your hoping for repeat guests (where they pay full rate and you don’t have to share it with Airbnb or VRBO), then provide hotel size shampoo, conditioner, body wash, small toothbrush and small tube of tooth paste.  

But if you spend 100K and all of the properties are ultimately redeemed you make a big fat ZERO dollars.

Then the home was always used as a residence from time of purchase up until the last 2.5 years or so, which is NOT to be included as "non-qualified use", so the "Home" version should have 0 non-use days by the days owned, making my non-residence factor a big fat 0%, which multiplied by the gain makes my non-qualified use gain another big fat $0, meaning that my gain that is eligible for exlusion is 100%!!!!.......

If you want the best coverage in case something happens, call an independent agent and tell them you want a policy with Chubb...then be prepared to write a big fat check for that premium.As Dave Ramsey used to say, drive into any major city in the US and look at the names on the largest buildings downtown...usually either an insurance company or a bank, or both.
