What kind of property are you trying to buy?

This seems counter-intuitive as I doubt you’ll ever find a really good PM company but the headaches of managing any kind of a problem remotely overshadows the ongoing concern that a PM company is inefficient and expensive (at least it does for us).

This is the kind of advice I was looking for.

You've been so kind and I really appreciate it.  

We did not know what kind of DIY fixes they tried before a plumber was sent out to look at and/or fix the issue so are not sure if something with that caused odor to worsen. 

You didn't mention what kind of law you're practicing. 

In a pricier area, or if you’re banking on a perfect scenario, that cheap credit can suddenly get very expensive.I’m curious... if you went down this route, what kind of safety nets or alternative strategies would you have in place in case that perfect timeline doesn’t pan out?

That is something I would for sure have to look into as, according to your post, it seems like the timeline for mid-term rentals kind of lines up with the amount of time that we would be gone each year, which would work out well and probably require less of a hassle of trying to maintain the property after each stay for Air BnB.

What kind of cost per square foot are you seeing in Boise to build multi-family / townhomes?
