I imagine a lot of areas maybe not the majority but a lot are in this same bucket.But like @Pace Jordan Morby mentioned the beauty of real estate is that there are multiple layers dealing in the buddle of rights and ownership so investors will find a way. do keep in mind there are firms that their entire business is to track mortgages like an actuary and rate them to give the servicers and the banks a read on how many loans could be in trouble when they could be in trouble and how much reserves they need. 

One thing I am finding is the reviews for some mentioned firms are all over the map.

. $320 x 12 months = $3,849/$10,000 initial investment = 38% CoC ReturnThe Legacy Income Model (this is a product a financial planning firm created specifically for Tardus clients) - Invested $10,000 initially - receive $310/month for 3 years. $310 X 12 months = $3,720 in a year. $3,720/$10,000 initial investment = 37% CoC Return”So I’m confused by the above.  

If it is later found to be the work was not performed according to code or properly repaired, we will seek damages from your firm since you knowingly hid this from us and would not allow us to understand the extent of the damage which occurred behind walls.Thank youThis way you are putting them on notice that you were aware damage occurred and they did not allow you to properly inspect it.

But you want your policies to be fairly firm. 

But if you have a cash buyer who is specifically looking for income property, and even more specifically a vacation rental property,  I firmly believe that there is a value add from having a working STR there.

I'm a firm believer that we can't ask for anything without giving A LOT first.

Here are some important questions to ask when choosing a specialist.Does the firm have engineering licenses with the state authorities?

Be firm and follow the law, don't let her fall further behind. 

If you haven’t already, make sure you’ve documented everything thoroughly—photos, messages, invoices—and highlight the guest’s negligence, like leaving windows and doors open in extreme weather.If you haven’t heard back after asking to escalate, follow up again and politely but firmly request that a senior claims specialist review the case.
