Quote from @Jaron Walling: @Tanya Maslach What was the asking the price and what was your original offer?

I don't think it'll be 25K unless the wall is coming in a decent amount. 

If you talk to someone like the folks at Wren Insurance Agency (from what I read in the Wall Street Journal), you’ll find they’ve been adapting to the shifting market conditions with some interesting coverage options.

While its frustrating as you were told something different, it does not overwrite existing lawsI live in a street that has an easement for the first 15 ft of driveway and we have had several neighbords put in gated entry and brick walls which is in the easement.

Quote from @Jaron Walling: @Devin James The 1 habit that changed my life is I started prioritizing wants vs needs. 

My insurance company determined that they were not responsible because the problem originated it form INSIDE the wall which was the responsibility of the condo association.  

And natural wood interior walls for that cabin feel.. can you post a link to what you recommend a  cabin should look like I am just curious . 

By the way, from what I read in the Wall Street Journal, there’s a growing number of niche investors cropping up who love grabbing assignments that fly under the mainstream radar, especially if you’re bringing something fresh to the table like a distressed duplex they can reposition, or a small portfolio of row homes they can turn into long-term rentals.

This is also the best thing, because many out of state investors find it confusing and stay away, which keeps our returns much higher and wards off Wall Street investors from buying up swaths of houses, which we've seen in other markets.As an STR specialist, keeping up with zoning and regulation statewide is a huge part of my job.I also host monthly short term rental events for local investors, monthly webinars, and I also often get furnished, turnkey off-market STR properties.
