Hi Anita, If you are using these third party platforms like Airbnb & Vrbo, you don't need to worry about screening tenants besides having settings on to review guest reviews and filter what you can; but in the end, both these third party platforms have insurance coverage anyways.

If you have a long time horizon, I would not be worried about $200 a month (as long as you can afford it).

I expect a free estimate from a contrator who possibly would be doing the actual work. 

If I have lump-sum free cash, should I just apply it to my mortgage to recast so that my monthly goes lower?

Although for me being one a premier client of our title company they would do date downs for me for free and also keep a running spread sheet for me.

How much free $ do you have a month right now?

Staying focused can help maximize your time on the platform.Feel free to reach out if you have questions or want to dive deeper into any topics.
