I know it sounds like I'm splitting hairs but some banks write HELOCs in their residential department....which won't write Investment Properties.

Were you really stoned when you came up with this hair brained scheme?

They are durable, but catch hair and dog fur more than the Bassets.I would avoid faux leather.

One of the reasons I asked the question is that it seems strange to me that a property management wouldn’t take anything upfront if they inherited a house that wasn’t ready for rent .Our property management also does the cleaning ( deep clean over 4 days was $1000 but they had to deal with some nasty pet hair , fleas etc)and that included some cover up paint etc .One lesson learned here is every contract with owner : property management varied greatly it seems from what is needed .But moving forward - I feel that $500 a month on a $2100 a month property is too high once it’s rented - unless endless problems persist of course ..thanks for your insight!

Look back to world's fair in the 60's, countless hair-brained crazy head-in-the-cloud's ideas of true creativity that foster into real innovations.

STR income will always be dependent on who I managing the property, how nice the finishes and furnishings are, and the actual location of a property within the given city.With my STR in Destin, numbers are more or less the same as last year, perhaps down just a hair. 

@Owen Dashner thanks for the kind words, the "grey hair" generation such as yourself has been instrumental in my progress! 

This is sending up some prickly hairs on my back.

Turned out that the house had been owned by a family who lived there forever and ran a small beauty salon out of the house, so one of the bedrooms had been turned into the hair salon and the dining area turned into a foyer.
