Getting out to the local meetups, in my opinion, is one of the most important things we all can do as investors. 

I wouldn’t purchase a STR property anywhere it wouldn’t work as a MTR or LTR unless its local economy is based on STR.

One of the houses is a mid-term rental in the city center (Faria Guimaraes) and the other is in Espinho.

Are you local and can you oversee renos? 

Now to provide extra comfort and convenience to our buyers (who are mostly out of state) we agree to help them out by getting them set up with local property management that we work with closely as well as assisting management market the property for rent to place tenants.

I'm pretty neutral on the local market outlook for the next year. 

Yes I own an apartment in Porto's city center that I rent out on Airbnb (I do mid-term). 

You’re absolutely right—LA is a tough but opportunity-rich market, and I’m putting in the groundwork to make the most of it.While I’m starting local in LA, my focus is expanding across California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington.

Water penetration can also include roof failures or pipe bursts that allow water to leak into or damage your home.Either have the repaired area researched by your local expert and accept it.

They can serve the initial notice to vacate but the actual court filing needs to come from you as the owner or through an attorney.Given you're out of state, working with a local eviction attorney is definitely your best bet here.
