Quote from @Brendan Doherty': I’ve read in books of people getting past having to live in the property they own so they can rent all units year one of ownership(living on the property with an rv).

Quote from @Marc Shin: @Keagan Scott on any advice you have to help me increase my bookings would be appreciated! 

I'm joining the pace Morby community so any sub to fans let me know!

The owner representative (not an agent, just family) seems to not be a fan of this option because he does not understand it.Option 2: If option 1 does not work, or they are unwilling, the offer I see as valid for this property to make sense is about $290K plus taking over the solar loan.

Collect cleaning fees and put more of the booking fee on the traveler if your rentals are in demand and it's the market isn't overly competitive.
