When the housing market became seller friendly, I unloaded 5/6 of our long term rental units, paid off our house with that and invested in stocks and mutual funds…completely no fun, right??

Henry on the Teak wood and lumber aspect.. what is the growing cycle for the hardwoods to become merch ? 

Stealing stuff out of an Airbnb is similar to unloading the TV, bed and mini fridge from the Marriot.

Add on the myriad of shortages to follow when rebuilding starts, carriers refusing to pay the 240% premium on lumber, which they will and have every time it happens. 

Under no circumstances should the tenant ever burn scrap lumber in a fireplace.

Plus it drives down wages so existing population can’t move up in housing.Add in Airbnb and you drive up housing.Add in tariffs for Canadian lumber 3 years ago and potential future China and Mexico tariffs.  

Getting started, acquiring more, 1031, or unloading?

The framing lumber popularly used is pathetic.

While a general contractor (GC) can help with this, it's good to have your own detailed plan to avoid misunderstandings.As for materials, you can either let your GC handle everything or split responsibilities—GC for rough materials (like lumber and drywall) and you for finish materials (like cabinets and flooring).  

People are unloading games all the time.
