My family moved across the US over the next 10 years to Edmond, Oklahoma (on three separate occasions), Montgomery, Alabama, Memphis, Tennessee and Norfolk, Virginia.

I have a check-in time after 2PM, check-out by 10AM and get regular requests to extend these times, which on occasion I try to accommodate but limit this keeping my cleaners on a regular schedule, giving them some flexibility to clean the place thoroughly. 

On several occasions, I have spotted a new property that I would like to make an offer on only to find that the property already has multiple offers, with some of them being all cash.

I think you'll find, if you DID NOT fill out Seller Property Disclosure form or a give the buyer a DISCLOSURE FORM 17 (Seller Disclosure to buyer) it may fall under a law suit if things do appear.It's been PROVEN on many occasions in Washington State Law that an item, a work defect or a material defect would be "AS IS" but, the whole property that is supposed to be LIVABLE and not CONTAMINATED is not an "AS IS" definition.

If you want to really stand out in a hot, competitive market, catering towards vacations or special occasions - spending a few extra bucks in the rooms or outdoor spaces that will be your first few key photos online - those are your money shots and will ultimately get you more clicks, bookings, better reviews, higher ranking on Airbnb / VRBO and coming full circle - ultimately you'll be able to charge more with the higher demand and occupancy goes up = more money in your pocket.. 

We've looked at using HF's on multiple occasions before.

I have never heard of banks refusing to lend to folks without an LLC for a residence rental, but have heard it for commercial property on occasion. 

I've had good luck with it on several occasions.

On occasion, we will charge for our "preconstruction services" but we make it very clear to our client at the beginning and we will give them a hard cost before we move forward. 

@Denny RobertAs a pastor, I have thought about this on many occasions, as we look at the verse often quoted by anti-debt folks "borrower is slave to the lender" notice this is a statement of fact not a moral or theological pronouncement.
