If they have the time to make sure their reviews are good, they are going to charge you more than you need to pay because it's a big company.

You can easily calculate the price you would pay without the exemption by looking at the gross tax bill that was just run for 2024.

There they have a much higher likelihood to get tenants who will pay not to mention respect the property and make things easier for everyone. 

Simpson and Spax come to mind.

I have used ALE successfully but 4X rent is not what we got we got 2X there is a limit in the insurance polices as to what the insurance will pay but its a decent move at least it was for us

I’m excited to join this platform and connect with like-minded individuals passionate about real estate and investing.

We recently did a loan involving a borrower with a mind-numbing operating agreement involving nested LLCs, retirement plans, and individuals. 

On the surface that sounds fine except with VRBO I did not where I have access to their credit card to charge them directly but rather I could submit an extra charge and it's up to the guest if they pay or not.

You will have the opportunity to meet like minded individuals with all different levels of investing. 

Keep that in mind:)Regarding partnering, have tried it several times and most times it ends with a split.So, if you go forward with partnership, recommend making sure you both agree in writing, on how a split would work.Otherwise, you an both share everything you leanr and help each other out monetarily as needed.
