I've looked at a few of the sites and will reach out to them. 

My husband is on site all day every day as the GC and that helps.

use STR reports it's more representative of major hotel markets and hotel inventory. find hte right brand. we just did a 150 page report on one development site.

Like others have stated, their price is not always the best especially if you use cashback sites and/or search for coupon codes for other sites.

@Steve Babiak, unless he registered with Pennsylvania as a contractor, he would not show up on there, the company as the OP stated is from NJ where he would be registered. he should be registered in PA if he is doing work there, so i agree, he should have shown up on those sites, i am a contractor in NJ but do not do work in PA, not even my own properties, so i do not show up on those sites.

From what I have tried to read from a non partisan site (tough to find nowadays) I believe the issue has been insurance companies lost billions in the past five years and the past 5-10 years have had the most costly fires ever.

We are in Los Angeles, and although we do not own anything in SD, we hold a loan on a portfolio of SFR's there that is not performing at the moment.
