I like the sea glass connection but you could also do something else with less risk of offending various groups of people, like fill an empty sea glass wine bottle full of actual sea glass (as a decoration obviously, or maybe fill it partway and ask guests to collect more sea glass and add to the collection if they want to, my kids would love that).  

I realized it would be much quicker if I could get access to a well established network.That all being said, joining a group is not the magic bullet.

@Zack GillYou're in luck.Use the magnifying glass lookup. 

AirBNB is trying to crack down on this by requiring permits for certain areas (I had to show proof of permit for City of Denver for AirBNB to allow my listing to go live).

- How long the unit sits vacant for repairs/cleaning, and finding a tenant- City/town/state the unit is inPlease respond with your thoughts, hopefully with the bullet points above as points of reference and stated as such in your reply (I know, I am asking for a lot from you all :) ) But, for example, a Class D property in Milwaukee, WI probably requires less turnover time, lower quality materials, not as precise of a paint job, etc, than perhaps a Class A property in San Francisco, which would require higher quality materials, higher labor costs, longer vacancy since more precise craftsmanship would be required, etc.

Can you tell me how I have to show proof that it has been my primary?

We have a lot of clients investing in East Ridge and North Redbank/South Hixson at the moment, with longer termed clients investing in Glass Farms and Alton Park for more of a long term appreciation play. 

You ask very long and detailed questions asking for proof of concept for the area and multiple agents answer you in one line or two lines, no specifics.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

It is not an unreasonable request for her to ask for proof that you paid what you said to have the items repaired.
