There is a needed reckoning to shake out the poor hosts, the poor guests and the poor booking platforms.

Do not proceed with a hand shake agreement.

I think it took until about 2016 for most of the foreclosures to shake out where I am almost 9 years after things went south. 

That might be good as personally have a feeling a lot will shake out in the next 6 months in most markets.

Be sure to avoid any/ all "hand shake" agreements.

The issue the city could see moving forward is reaching an affordability ceiling as our valuation increases far outpace the rise in our incomes. 140,000 new jobs is nothing to shake a stick at so I'm hoping this helps.

That might shake a few $$ out of them.Another tact would be to have a discussion with the wholesaler about their reputation. 

Think of the McDonnalds franchise:  They are one of the wealthiest landowners in the world:  The burgers and shakes pay the mortgages on prime real estate owned by McD. 

>shakes head< luckily (knocks on wood) i am sliding by but it was really an u expected requirement and it is a LOT of cash they have as for timing - i have been trying to get a HELOC for over 3 months and it looks like it might finally close! 

My investor has a little experience and has a realtor in the family and they believed they'd get more for it but the house needed a lot of work - what I thought would likely shake out to $60-70k in rehab.
