So I just need to make a decision and go with it.

Nobody answered the phone, I called 5 times.

I am so glad you did, however.

Hello @Benjamin Blunt,Great advice on here so far.

@Michael Baum how many Short-term rentals do you manage this way where you are on call all the time?

In my area a house call for locksmith is going to cost $75-100 just to walk in the door, so $135 all in is not that big a deal.Not a hill I want to die on....... use it as a learning moment for the tenant- ALL repairs need to be approved by you BEFORE they are done.

Call them.

So we received our first inquiry for a booking on vrbo….

I would call those contractors and ask the same thing about this property as you did those other two guys.

They said that was too low for them, so I offered $175,000 and they accepted.
