One key takeaway for future projects is the value of hiring professional painters.

Quote from @Josh Ball: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Smokers aren't a protected class, but they could argue that whatever the underlying "medical" issue for the card could be part of one.

Was truly one of the best financial decisions of my life. 

Hi Myles,I found myself managing about 20 rentals through my brokerage at one point.

How much do they want you to to pay, to pay off one of the mortgages (or both of their existing mortgages)? 

Yes, they will do many things better than you, but some things it's not possible for them to be as attentive and quick responding as you.Also, no one's perfect, so keep tabs on them in general.Regarding holding or selling: why did you buy this in the first place?

For example, in Dec I had one property 100% direct/VRBO which historically 40% Airbnb.

Is it realistic to ask for and expect to get at least 2 landlord references and 2 tenant references (current clients) if I am a " small time" landlord with one property, not multiple units?

Hate hearing that it didn't work out for you on that one.
