A couple of us up here in the Bay Area are figuring out if someone could drive down a truck with supplies but I'm donating money first.

I bought an off market  property on the spot from a couple.

PM made a couple attempts to collect and then offered to cover the damage because toilet replacements are not that costly and continuing to pursue the damages did not make sense for them.Airbnb is supposed to cover guest damage but if they refuse to pay for guest damage their insurance has reduced value and cannot be relied upon. 

How to Invest in Real Estate and The Book on Real Estate Investing are a couple great books published by bigger pockets. congrats on taking the first step.

So I just closed on a duplex a couple days ago & Im going to be house hacking.
