Still, no.The next day she feels 10k is reasonable.I initially was inclined to help her with a new bedroom set, and return of security deposit along with not charging the month of september while she finds a new place.My responsibility or not, amicably helping a tenant vacate quickly is in everyone's best interest.

We just cancelled our family vacation to Asheville.

For ourselves, we don’t care about that channel anyways so doesn’t matter to us.A few weeks ago we exported all of our listings to Google vacations.

You're really asking how to create a vacation rental that outperforms the competition. 

If you have a short term rental, it is the worst policy because they will not insure vacation rentals.

I don't want that happening here until I can view the house myself after tenant vacates and I have the person I use to fix things present.

Is it 10  or 15 % downpayment, that is what I wanted to know Is the house in another state that you and your family are planning on utilizing for vacations? 

He could potentially bring up the deposit but he'd also have to show proof he notified me of his vacating.

Being young, you may be able to find a nice area that will allow you to BRRR your way to a sizable portfolio as LTRs and create a ton of equity and long term wealth and then use that to do even more fun stuff in your second phase of investing.But in terms of returns, I still think STRs are the way to go - even in areas that are not big vacation spots.
