If the search produces a sea of natural earth tone pics, the one that stands out has a splash of color.

That's just the nature of this business. 

I have done it successfully on my last 2 buildouts, maybe 3, but only because I was able to acquire the properties at a very low price and I did all the work in-house (myself and some hired hands on staff).

Of course like all meetups there are people there who have gone every month for probably 10 years and never done a deal. 

Good to know as I have a property coming on the market and we had one off market offer already all cash but at 10% list price discount (which we most likely will reject).Curious if you think the california fires will assist the market since many of those people need places to live for years and I am guessing some will flee california?

Airbnb is supposed to take the hit, in the case of a natural disaster or storm etc. 

If it was due to a natural disaster they cannot raise your rates.

They pointed out all the things the last company did wrong, and gave me a quote for $4000.

Heating costs go up in winter, as does electricity due to the reduced natural light and more people indoors.
