Spend the money for peace of mind now.Also, make sure you're getting paid for the risk you're taking on with the foundation issues.

I am not sure what the availability of cleaners in that area so I would spend time right now see what is there before committing to a property.Also, if you are spending 2k a year on fixing or replacing stuff, you are getting the wrong guests.

Again we are reviewing our investments, potential developments, defensive positions.My outlook is the stock market needs to come down 50 to 60% this year.  

Now, some states require an attorney to review contracts. 

I have heard great reviews about your book and can't wait to read it.

(We had a boat as an AirBNB and the plumbing would clog very easily and we had to state a similar statement and it got us out of refunds and bad reviews) hope that helps! 

Their pro formas felt optimistic with providing 6% annual appreciation and property management that is only about 6% of rent so I take it with a grain of salt (they offer their own property management services but it has terrible reviews on Yelp so I would probably go with someone else). 

I'd start with picking one city and spending a lot of your time to do a deep dive building relationships and learning different areas.

There is a cost to that and the potential for having to spend more to fix things up.  

The truth is that you have to SPEND 20K to go to their school and learn the ropes.
