I have lived here for more than 3 years and have not always been current but the LL told me he excused it.

I really appreciate your inputs on the coaching and conferences overall.

The LL is wanting to charge them back for the cost of bringing an electrician out to resolve the matter. 

There's so much important info you can learn about neighborhoods (and individual properties) that simply cannot be conveyed by peoples' opinions, photos, or even video.As with all parts of due diligence: although you can (and should) seek the input of experienced pros, at the end of the day, the due diligence buck stops with you.Good luck out there!

I have quite a bit of equity living in CA and my rentals are practically paid for.....I spoke to my CPA and he had some input as well, seek legal advice and make sure you get that umbrella policy first from your insurance provider.  

If anyone has any input or advice on whether to invest now versus waiting on the market to hopefully cool off, I would greatly appreciate it.thanks! 

Thank you for your input!

I mean once you talk to them, it's pretty easy to spot if they know what they are talking about.I've work on STRs before and to be honest, it is not the most fun aspect of accounting because the volume of allocating income from all sources (airbnb, vrbo, stripe, direct booking, and so on) to a bunch of random expenses (cleaning, supplies, repairs, advertising, commissions, and all typical real estate expenses).I had to strictly rely on the client's input on what the expenses belong to which property or even units, if the paperwork doesn't say. 

I'd love input from managers from both perspectives.I like the idea of a franchise with a system in place already.  

I'm thinking something that could auto populate industry average estimates on time for certain tasks based on the inputs of the work.
