Sam & Heather Jones  I did not read whether or not you paid any money up front and not withstanding the stipulations in your contract, in my experience,  once calls are not returned and continued no shows occur it never ends well.

I would just be cognizant of not exhausting your savings because while cash flow can be found, there are ongoing costs associated with investment properties and you don't want one major maintenance issue to wipe you out!

I have no issues with reaching out and asking questions, I've been doing it like crazy these last couple weeks and am exhausted. :) But it's worth it if I can make this difficult situation into a positive outcome. 

It's more expensive, takes longer, is more stressful, and exhausting to get a STR to market.

plus with the window there, if they cook something that the exhaust fan isn’t strong enough to pull out, they can open the window on that side to create more air flow.

I always focus on the bits that are harder to delegate, like choosing designs and decor, but I was exhausted every time.

@John ThedfordI think that legal aspects not withstanding, to be ethical someone attempting to wholesale a deal would have to disclose by way of contingencies that his deal is dependent on flipping the property to the ultimate buyer (assuming that he won’t close without that), and not suggest otherwise by merely relying on other (weasel) contingencies.The wholesalers that intend to fulfill the contract and close the purchase whether or not they are able to flip the deal ( assuming any real contingencies are met), are real wholesalers and not disguised middle men.

It’s not that difficult or expensive to do and can withstand abusive tenants . 

The study's report also allows the investor to retire and expense structural assets as they are exhausted, which can also lower capital gains when selling the property.Are you familiar with bonus depreciation?

My son is 2 so I still remember the first few weeks, what a crazy mix of happiness and exhaustion :) I guess it goes without saying, but take lots of pictures & vids.
