We've decided to scale back on acquisitions and have started scouting out talent to add to our team to be better prepared for what's to come.While we believe we could greatly benefit from bringing on an Integrator, project manager, and construction manager as soon as possible, we are looking at cost/benefit for our first hire.

If not financable,  this would likely eliminate qualified buyers and drive the pricing down.I've certainly come across plenty of wholesalers who conduct their business with the same integrity as a good sales agent.

A lot of Property Management Systems don't fully integrate with all of those sites and the ones that do typically require you have the least five properties in your portfolio to upload.

I personally, would never rely on an appraiser's opinion (other than mine of course), in assessing a deal, but unfortunately, they are an integral part of the financing and that should be taken into account.

I heard they were going to that with the integration with Expedia.  

I manage a short-term rental in San Diego and am considering integrating my in-laws’ STR under this operational model to reduce taxable income.Establishing an LLC seemed like a way to merge our business accounts, potentially decreasing taxable income from our STR by accounting for expenses from an added unit.

Be mindful of the state of the property's general structural integrity as well as the roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and door systems.Create a comprehensive scope of work that describes all the fixes and enhancements that are required.

I purchased the program based on the assumption that the skip tracing would be an integral part of the program.

If there's ANY concern about the foundation or structural integrity, I call in a foundation pro, or I walk (foundation/structural issues are usually my one total deal-breaker).
