@Kevin Sobilo,When it comes to options.The people represented to govern have decided what requires a license to do for another person for money (Cut hair, fix brakes, sell real property, plumbing, electrical, chauffeuring, running a day care).

I will keep an eye out for pads in Sherman Oaks.

I didn't want to spend a ton sound proofing the basement ceiling so instead I went with a cheaper route where I put down felt padding with a rug on top that covered the entire living space that was over my area.

Got hired by a shopping center developer to do build-to-suits on freestanding pads and inline small tenant leasing.

I am looking to hit the ground running this year and this is going to Serve as a launching pad for me!

The repairs to redo the baseboards, new carpets + padding, and checking for insulation damage and mold + any new painting is going to run 3,900 for 3 bedrooms, laundry room and back door.

HeyLooking for input from other members running their short term rental properties.We are onto a new project where we have a small acreage that is nicely setup.3 bed/2 bath house that can accommodate 8-10 guests3 services rv pads that can come with newer trailers to accommodate upto anther 12 guests.The property is close to the lake, golf, kids activities, town etc and have a Great Lake view.Last year we added a large 1400 sq-ft deck to capitalize on the view and add a hot tub, 12x24 pool and lots of seating etc.This year was a large fire pit area suitable for 12-16 people.Next up are three choices and not sure what would give the most value (or do I do all 3)1.

Couple divorced, but this one we had to foreclose on, got it back & immediately sold it to a fellow investor for 2x our total cost (including all legal fees etc) & hold it 12%, 20 yr term.Then we took the foreclosing attorney to arbitration for padding his fees & won a 50% reduction.life goes on...just rinse & repeat!!!

I have a small padding on my cleaning fees that I view as going toward the cost of expendables (paper goods, kitchen supplies, the occasional ruined towel, etc.).  

They have been known to pad invoices.
