It’s such a great resource for learning and connecting with like-minded investors. where is your property located? 

The STR market was great a few years ago but now too sure now unless you have a great location.

Otherwise, they will just end up ignoring you and you'll get frustrated. 3) Naive/newbie investors get burned all the time by only looking at the numbers - w/o fully understanding how the location/property/tenant will affect those numbers.- They often get sold Class C or D properties while using Class A assumptions - then wonder why they are losing money.Here's some copy & paste info that you hopefully find helpful:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Your designer says we would like to have a copy of the floorplans with the wall heights, window locations, plumbing and electrical.

This is especially true if you're trying to buy in the best location possible.

Quote from @Noah Wright: We specialize in this specific issue, actually. 

Give fair housing testers the right to secretly record your call, trying to trap in a fair housing issue.

I don't think that makes sense, because the space certainly adds value, in my experience.But this does tend to vary from location to location.

We also have a brick-and-mortar location in the DFW area.

There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.
