Hey @Devin Bost, it sounds like you’re facing a common challenge in managing short-term rentals remotely.

If you're planning to sell it and split the profits with the seller, it sounds like you would want a novation agreement. 

And in doing so I realized that it’s going to be $2k more per year to insure it for replacement value of $145k vs before it was mostly just liability insurance plus a cap of $15k replacement payout. 

Additionally, I have access to cabinets, doors, and other materials through trades with a friend and uncle who own 100+ doors between them, but still budgeted funds for replacements if they can't offer some. 

At first it sounds like typical, corny corporate-speak: PM business is relationships, not transactional.

Your HOA will likely keep increasing and because of the excessive heat, roofs get replaced more than in other areas and if the HOA is not super liquid, that will come back to you in the form of an assessment.

Yes.It sounds like you could use professional assistance, but it would be nice if you could get the guidance for free.Airbnb pays "Airbnb SuperHost Ambassadors" to guide and advise new Hosts, with no cost to the new Host.  

Purchase price: $179,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Lived in the property for 1 year.Knocked down living room wall, replaced Hvac, floors and gutted and remodeled the kitchen, attic insulation, converted the living room and the dining area into rooms.

Sounds like a solid plan starting with wholesaling.

Sounds like you're doing the right thing.
