After a month of renovations, I listed it on the market on November 19th and secured a tenant with a lease starting on December 10th.

Quick context: I placed a tenant in one of my units after thorough background checks and collected security deposit + first month's prorated rent via Baselane (bad move!).

A 3' wide continual walking space perhaps? 

May be expensive but they are dedicated to private lender law, securities law and creditors' rights.

It's not like we're bundling sub2 deals into tranches and selling them as mortgage-backed securities like they were with subprime mortgages, yet. 

Curious about the success others are having with these platforms or if anyone thinks Booking.com is becoming a necessary tool for securing STR reservations?

If the cost of the couch removal and other items isn't that significant, maybe just pay out of pocket and don't renew them for another term (or take it out of security deposit if you have one).

But section 8 is the way to go, higher rents + more security.

I'm hoping to broaden my real estate literacy and savvy, as well as learn how to source, evaluate, and secure sponsors and deals that meet my financial goals.

I engaged my webmaster - SEO expert to handle it and she contacted Mailchimp and was able to secure a new account for us, with her listed as having the final authority to authorize a mailing.  24 mailing later never another problem.
