Think I better clarify - this isn't an altruistic attempt to help VRBO 😄, but rather a hope that it might result in a higher overall booking rate if both platforms perform at a high level

3) What neighborhoods would you recommend in this price range if I'm targeting high quality tenants?

From there, adding discipline will get you to where you want.Instead what you're doing is advertising you have money, no knowledge and are going to have the average BP RE agent(bottom of the barrel quality) come here to promote their services with no regard. 

@Nick HulmeMaking improvements to your primary to make it high quality enough to rent above market rents, rent it.

They have lost many employees and the level of service and quality has been dismal.

Some people will say, "Take out a quality Insurance Policy and you will be protected."

AB 2622 allows unlicensed professionals to handle jobs under $1,000, such as repairing gates, patching drywall, or fixing leaky faucets—saving you money without sacrificing quality.2.

Usually the numbers don't work to build in these neighborhoods, unless government tax credits, etc.Do you see the problem with your two statements:"The turnover costs could/will be high"and"How much more damage could they do?"

Focusing solely on numbers often leads to the purchase of low-quality properties.

That's where good people live, and good people make good tenants.But before you put money down on a house, I would find a quality property manager.
