Do you have a better solution to be able to cover the costs of running a business without ads?

The 7-day rule refers to an average stay across the entire year.

Whats a good solution for a back yard to be easy to handle in the summer like in the winter?

Of course, given the cultural taboo of it all...not the permanent solution.I'd say charge them.Cracking up...spending my Thursday morning talking about poop paper solutions...

Quote from @Robin Simon: to the contrary, you could argue that buying turnkey is "dead" right now because prices remain high and cash flow remains hardly possible - the only solution people are finding right now seems to be BRRRR (outside of getting great, overlooked deals) I’be been and still am in investments that don’t require the BRRRR.

I'd get legit references, see how many units he/she has, probe them on how they solve problems and on that basis make your decision.

I'm wondering if there are any strategies pros employ for multifamily inspections where it can be either done using other people's money or if a cheaper solution would work such as hiring a local property manager/agent to do a walk through.

You can always get a license and put it referral meaning you're not active, but are referring business to agents and collect a fee.

Based on that reference we are about 1% under the average, which is a good thing. 

If you find one of them, ask them to refer you to another one.
