@Michele Fischer : I actually LOVE vacation rentals (VRs) and got started that way.

@Michele Fischer Thanks for the thoughts.

@Michele Fischer I can get if you think cats cause a lot of damage because of your past experience, however, isn't it a bit unfounded to not allow cats based on the fact that you simply don't like them?

Thanks so much @Michele Fischer for the warm welcome!

@Michele Fischer Yes'm.

I just had a long discussion this weekend with Brandon Turner and Michele Fischer (an upcoming featured speaker on BP) about investing in Washington state.  

Thanks for the info @Louisa Cash and @John Fischer
