Like you said it gives the weekend for travel time.Plus, if folks need to head home on Sunday then they do that and not feel too bad about losing a day.When you have to work that Friday, it sucks because you want to get started, but after 6 days of vacationing, people are often ready to go home and are meh about the Monday.Psychological Strategery....

That's what I was trying to wrap my head around.

I've butted heads with mods over various topics, to include what should/shouldn't be allowed on the site.

With the growing demand for both urban living in cities like Austin and suburban areas surrounding Dallas and Houston, where do you think the next big wave of homebuyers is heading?

I am wondering however if I should transfer the asset to my new LLC and then apply for a HELOC to get a head start on building business credit.

I've found its pretty hard for folks to get comfortable with a purchase out of state if they haven't seen the general areas that they think they'd like to buy in.While I love where your heads at - best thing you can do right now is likely focusing on saving cash, REI education, paying off loans, and enjoying your last year of school!

My rule of thumb when it comes to this is get someone out there (3-4 contractors) and get them to bid the job then the more you do that you can quote off the top of your head when you see a project.

But your heading says STR Insurance, and I don't know if the number of STRs will decrease by a huge amount because people will still vacation there. 

Hey There @Scott Bogue - First just a heads up - YOU ARE NOT ALONE & YOU WILL PERCEIVER!

As for use as "finished space", a basement can add SOME value but typically the head height may be lower, it doesn't have large windows etc.
