So with all that, I'm thinking to open booking now for next summer with a 7 day minimum, see how it books out, and by late winter/spring I can reduce it to a 3 day min to fill any remaining weekends, and then work on filling mid-week vacancies as summer approaches.We were leaning towards Fri-Fri, but Michael I like your suggestion about the Mon-Mon option, which could be nice because renters would have the weekend to travel and then begin their stay on a Monday, then they would end their stay on an upnote with a long weekend...But with either Fri-Fri or Mon-Mon renters would probably need to take 6 days off work...Sunday-Sunday might actually be better because renters would only need 5 days off.  

I am leaning towards hiring an attorney for the peace of mind but I also want to make sure I’m not taken advantage of. 

A few quick tips:Run your numbers – Flip for a profit by factoring in renovation costs, holding costs, and market trends in the area.Line up financing early – If you're using a VA loan, it's great for long-term holds, but for a flip, hard money or private lenders might fit better.Build your team – Lean on your local contacts (family, friends, or contractors) to be your boots on the ground.

Likely, the entrance barrier is not that high but the leaning curve is pretty steep. 

I have been leaning towards LTR with my education, but STR seems to make sense in the scenario. 

I'm Italian, and originally from North Jersey/NYC area so we just send out some guys that specialize in knee cap alterations 🤣.Ok, more seriously, I personally believe in responding to reviews both positive and negative because it builds a critical body of work such that when you do respond to negative reviews it doesn't look out of place.

Thanks @Chris Seveney that's where I am leaning as well, keep it clean because I don't think its possible to revalue 50% assets that I buy and keep mine at same basis.

My average price point sale is about $1.3m on my own so it was a smarter move to make less overall money, but to have a lean system to operate and not manage and try to help agents anymore in that way.Hopping into every forum I post on to have a go at me is very embarrassing for you.

Investors buy in an HOA because properties are cheap, but then they quickly realize Nazis and busy-bodies run the HOA.You can try to build a coalition of owners and fight back against the charge, but it's unlikely to change.

Side note, she was able to get into this property for just under $13k and we we're able to negotiate the seller putting in a new AC unit as well as paying a $7000 invoice to a contractor to replace the roof.Moreover, if your credit is solid, I'd opt toward a 5% down conventional loan if you're leaning toward the 3.5% down FHA route.
