@Francisco Pineiro To protect yourself when working with contractors:1.Start with a Clear Scope of Work (SOW): Ensure every detail of the project is outlined in writing, including materials, timelines, and deliverables.2.Use Milestone Payments: For a $40K rehab, consider this structure: 10% upfront, 30% at halfway completion, 30% at 75%, and the remaining 30% upon full completion.

@Bryan Cavellier, You can 1031 with any US property including Guam, the USVI and ...drum roll- The Northern Marianas Islands (go figure but I actually had a realtor from there in a class of mine recently) into any other US or one of those territories.  1031 is a federal statute so it's applied the same in all locals with just a few variations state to state at the state level. 

We have an STR in Swannanoa that wasn't damaged and have had several week+ long bookings since the storm (including Army Corps of Engineers, etc). 

I am a busy man, sometimes more than others, as we all are.I come in here to help others when I can.I make no money from this-and making money is my primary focus.That and handling the responsibilities and time consuming tasks that go with it.I also lead a very comfortable life full of friends and business acquaintances that take up a great deal of my time.

When working with private lenders, the costs for preparing loan documents can vary based on a few factors, including the complexity of the loan, the attorney’s experience, and the geographic location.

Is there any evidence or support I can include to make my letter of intent more credible?

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

I have 3 big barking dogs (but one is very old) including one (great Pyrenees ) that bites intruders but they are behind a fence and packages are left on the other side of the fence.  

@Dennis GallagherIt's my understanding that the "Income-Expense Ratio" primarily use operating expenses as the expense variable, which includes costs like utilities, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, property management fees, and trash removal, all of which are considered when calculating a property's operating expense ratio (OER).You calculate OER by dividing the total operating expenses by the gross operating income of a property.

To answer your original question - I include the video on VRBO (there is a place to put the link there) and I also have a YouTube channel for my videos.
