Banks are regularly visited by federal auditors and work hard to keep in compliance with properly handling transactions.

So just like the youtube videos you can pay a lot of money for their training and you're probably not really that much further ahead to invest in your local market.If you tell us where you are or where you want to invest, we can perhaps point you to some better resources. 

It hasn't happened since but I usually have to have my plumber out every couple years when the back house starts to report issues with their sinks and tub not draining well.At this point I'm trying to decide if I should go ahead and redo the whole system while we're out there and consider it a capital improvement benefit that will last for as long as I'll own the property. 

Re visit this subject- I really think this would be a good idea.

I recommend getting ahead of this by contacting AirBnB support.Share the documentation in the AirBnB message system.

The last time he ran away it required a $1000 visit to the vet. 

Total cost is less than $1000 per month including WC and disability etc....Small price to pay given that total revenue is $15,000 per month and I now visit the property 1-2 per month spending less than 20 hours per month "managing" this investment.

You can go ahead and rent it and you will be ok.

Are you ahead on the work that you paid for already ?

But I agree, for those who want to get ahead quicker, the more active you are the better off you typically will be in the long run.
