To find reliable contractors, ask for recommendations from other investors, real estate agents, or your local hardware store, and check platforms like Angi or Thumbtack for reviews.It’s best to bring a contractor out after the inspection so you have all the details to discuss.

The fast way is to just not use a Redfin scraper and find another apify scraper in the apify store like a Zillow scraper that just takes the addresses in the format you have them in already).

You may have to do this several times for all the different tasks being done.The only labor cost not covered by this type of online inquiry is drive time from the businessto the property, to the store & back for supplies and then back to the business address.

:)There are always some kind of good deal on furniture out there and I just have to pass because I am not currently looking to outfit another STR and I have no space.I would love to have a 10k sqft warehouse to store stuff when I find it so I have it @Patricia Andriolo-Bull

Unkempt lawns, trashy or broken down vehicles, mattresses and trash on empty lots, boarded up houses, bars on windows, dealers and hookers on the corners, the lack of stores or gas stations, occupied properties are dilapidated, etc.Or when Google maps shows stuff like this:

I furnished 2 STRs for that amount, just go to either high-end thrift stores or a lower-end antique store....you'd be surprised at how little you can pay for solid wood furniture...

Bonus if you land a corner lot.- multiple indoor common areas (think 2 separate tv setups). - exterior "usable square footage" (think covered patio, pergolas).- extra storage space so tenants don't feel the need to squeeze their entire lives into one room (extra garage space, attic, detached shed)- room for 2 full refrigerators!
