You should see some of the houses I've rehabbed or walked. ya thats maybe a 5 on a scale of 6.. the really bad ones you need a resperator to go into them.. and people worry about a little dab of mold these folks live in a petri dish.

I believe they are still doing the occasional JBB workshop but I believe Dave is quite selective in who they let attend.  

Because who would want 10s of thousands when you can get hundreds from an occasional guest?

Every flip is like peeling back layers of an onion, but this one came with tears, sweat, and the occasional scream into the void.

Occasionally I catch some cleanliness issued that I am not satisfied with which I believe is due to variability in attention to detail between people on their crew, or lack of training and familiarity with my property.I've seen mentions of the value of post cleaning pictures from hosts on other forums.

It was mentioned several times that no one could see the chat, but Pace assured us that he could see all our comments, and he would occasionally comment on the alleged comments. 

All of that said, I just want to get together occasionally to give my wife a break from me talking about real estate all of the time.

That experience taught me the importance of leaning on local expertise, even if it feels like an unnecessary expense at first.One strategy I’ve seen work occasionally is offering the tenant a “cash for keys” deal, where you pay them a small amount to vacate voluntarily.

You probably don't need to change your interior design or furniture, and you already have the pots/pans/dishes and amenities needed to drop in a student or a traveling tradesman.

And I occasionally get one tenant complaining about their neighbor.
