You can have a go to list when you have an issue and other people who provide regular service like furnace cleaning. 

They moved him out, cleaned the place, and we were done a month early. 

I'm seeing here that this is more of a site for investors, which were not necessarily interested in buying or building for an airbnb, we are very interested, however, in building a home that we will live in & then rent out or make our existing home in Kenosha Wisconsin which is on Lake Michigan an airbnb.We know NOTHING about buying a lot & then building.That said,  We have been trying to figure out how we get the most Bang for our buck buying existing property or building our own home.We have been seeing some amazing properties around 50K in Yucca Valley and/or 29 palms that list having water and electric available nearby.We want simple clean lines,  I suppose what would be considered modern contemporary but I hate putting that title on it because for some reason it seems like there's an upcharge just by using that description, lol...

Just hit them up about the forms to make sure it is clean and sound once you close escrow. 

The neighborhood is well kept, clean, family friendly and quiet.

It is so hard for me to hold back on not replacing something, just so it looks newer or more trendy (for example, swapping light fixtures and door knobs when the ones there might be okay .... or wanting to swap all switches and outlets to Decora when the standard ones already there just need to be cleaned real good). 

This could include marketing costs or maybe even your financial losses due to taking time off work to clean or whatever.

I think you're right and proposing a healthy mindset.

I have 3 healthy STRs in a popular lake community that draws about 6M visitors per year.
