I was under the impression that the Government moratorium was for federally backed mortgages. 

If you’d been holding around $620K from a 2019 sale and directed it toward a few properties like that.. especially if you leveraged financing.. you might’ve grown your portfolio’s total value well beyond what many Los Angeles holdings would have delivered over the same period.Then again, L.A. still has that unique mix of robust demand and limited supply.. from what I’ve heard, you can see impressive long-term gains there if you’re comfortble navigating tenant protections.

We do a pretty good deal of site selection with data behind it and use experian as a data source. 

They don't have anything specific for sorting by furnished spaces but there may be a check box to select for when sorting. 

I had been under the impression that there are products out there where you can put 10-15% down to get in.

What you could doIs continue to pay that loan and have the owner also select finance you the balance.

Ideally, you know every cabinet placement, tile selection, etc when you meet the contractor for bids.  

Recently, I've realized that it helps me (and my guests) to re-confirm details of their booking before they arrive (so there are no surprises such as undisclosed dogs or extra persons added).To answer your question on how to see how others have reviewed you as a guest, in Airbnb, you'll find it under your Account, then at the top of the page, select Go to Profile.

You may find other renters that refuse to put up with for example: gunshots, stolen cars, etc. in select neighborhoods. 

What are the metrics for determining site selection?
