We also tell them that we charge $25 per hole for TV mounts, shelves etc I think that $10 up-front investment has reduced the number of issues by probably 80%.Our walls are textured (sand textured in Milwaukee, orange peel textured in the western suburbs - yes, there is an actual dividing line), so we try to avoid the usual palm-sized patch and fill only the hole without making it bigger, so we can get away without texturing.

@Taylor Smith if you are looking to buy a home for yourself as a primary residence, I have a video on my YouTube channel called "The Absolute Best Way to Buy a House."

Rewey: There is a video (free on YouTube) by Attorney Jeff Watson titled "How To Do a Subject To And Do It Right" that I highly recommend. 

I try sending a video or doing a live video walk-through with them so they can get a better idea of the layout, condition, neighborhood, etc.2.

You can also look into the builder to make sure that they are reputable.Also, look up some videos on selling a house for sale by owner in your state.

Quote from @Dina Schmid: If all goes well with Monday's post-repairs inspection, we should close later in the week on a cabin that we want to use as a getaway for us + STR when we're not using it.

Just curious if any particular type of structure has the best ROI or is the most desirable by renters looking to get away from it all and relax in nature? 

•If the area has higher-income tenants looking for more luxury, you might get away with upgrading, but make sure you won’t be over-improving for the market.5.

@Bennie Smith there's two parts to that:1) We take on properties all the time and do a TakeOver Evaluation Video that we share with the owner.- Many of them have no clue of the actual condition of their properties and a decent percentage want to then sell.2) We have owners we terminate, that don't want to spend a penny maintaining their properties.
