However, consider calling the VA’s regional loan center or speaking with a VA-approved lender who can interpret the rules in a more specific scenario tailored for you.

If you need eyes and ears or want an opinion on a specific property, I am always happy to assist. 

I don't know your specific market all that well but have you done some analysis on your ADR during the high season X your high season occupancy rate and determined whether taking lower priced slow season bookings vs letting your property stay vacant during the winter averages out in your favor?

I saw someone post in a group who I think is a schmuck brag about hitting a specific figure for their training and I just shook my head - like wow - this person is a great sales person and just steals the same lines from the business book about working hard and throwing out some slick slogans - but man oh man - when real estate gets hard people move to being a guru - just look at FB ads right now - many are not funds anymore but how to raise money, how to do X.

@Shuvrajit Mukherjee what specific data are you looking for that Zillow did not provide?

Some good questions for him to ask each potential company are:- how long have you been in business- what is your fee (be specific on the number of properties involved and if it's forward, reverse, etc)- where is your operations staff located (ie where will be funds be)- what type of account will my funds be held in? 

Aside from filing a police report, your insurance should cover your damages less the deductible, and will abrogate damages against their renter's insurance if they have it. 

Except in very specific markets, condos are a vastly inferior investment to a stand-alone dwelling.

Any suggestions would help please Colorado Springs has some weird regulations about this depending on which county it's located in so be sure to check in with the planning department in the specific county you're looking at.

Obviously this depends on whether Local, Esq. is willing to do it (and whether there is a state-specific bar requirement just for this type of work), but I want an outside perspective first.Thanks,Looking in Baltimore
