We were in Spain for 3 weeks about 2 weeks ago.  

  :) Yeah - I have an appraisal in hand for the property, that was completed just a couple of weeks ago, that is substantially higher than the asking price.

Lastly, I do a weekly STR update you YouTube if you are interested where I talk about all new STR listings and sold listings.

No free weeks, no reduced deposit, etc.

Hey @Tonio Pearce - If you don't have an end destination, you won't know which road to take.If you can create a longer term vision (5-10 year) for your business, you can slowly back in next steps for (1 year, qtrly, weekly).

Tenant moved in the first week of December and there's been an excess of communication from the owners for somewhat minor issues or concerns.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

Are you attending the RPOA annual Expo next week in GR from the 21-23rd... it’s free?

Not sure why this new management is holding our fund, which always delay last month was one week holding.
