I think you will need to look at fredericksburg or further away - and most likely a property that needs work.You can find some on the maryland side but be careful with some of the neighborhoods those homes are in.

Who cares?

Also, be careful with your lease terms: we specify all tenants, including minors, and state "No Others" specifically.

It's a fairly unregulated space (charging grandma $750 to puts around for 3 hours, after moving the old box from the horizontal sensor, which was the only problem with the garage door to begin with), so some combination of carefully reading reviews (you have to actually read them to make sure it's not 200 fake reviews), and maybe not giving them the full contract all at once, is in order. 

This entire conversation in my opinion comes into play for a group or entity that may have 50-100 STR's where the branding will matter more but to be honest from what we have seen when they get that large they usually have lack luster service and subpar reviews- in the end someone that is 1031'ing mostly cares about that cash flow at that level and that's why and mostly only why they care about buying a brand. 1-15 units and a brand is nice but in my opinion wont break a deal- we are trying to do it but in the end its more for our guests to have a simple streamlined way to book with us.

We have never collected that and it is not a significant cost.Also be very careful changing criteria mid stream, I would only change it between vacancies. 

From the start we could tell she hadn't read any of the questions we carefully answered nor reviewed any of the sensitive documents we uploaded during onboarding.

The only thing that I really care about is room on the deal.

This way I do not care whether guests stay 1 night or 30 from cleaning standpoint.3.

Poor communicators, poor housekeeping skills, prescription med abuse, big dogs that they couldn't properly care for, damaging, etc.
