I often wonder if the remote location (20 minutes up the mountain) is a turnoff and travelers are starting to prefer motel-like accommodations that are close to the main highways.Houses in the middle of the woods with no view, houses that are non-cabin style like they belong in a normal major city suburb, no game room, no deck to take in the view, no hot tub, no area for a fire pit, no room for extra activities like corn hole or throwing the football, poor driveway, steep entrance, tons of stairs etc.

I may buy in the upper jungle/cloud forest and then keep renting where I am currently since prices are dirt cheap.

Just fire him and find a property manager that can handle both the 1st rental and the rehab on property 2? 

The fires are a real issue and starting very early this year.

Hello AllWe suffered fire damage about 2 weeks out from listing....less than 5 hours ago.

I just purchased in August, I’ve fired 3 agents and 1 property manager so far.

I agree with @Michael Baum.I recently had a guest who lit fireworks and put the hot shells in the outdoor trash can which started a fire and burnt up the garage door, stucco, and facia before it was put out. 

So good hiring/firing ability for office staff and contractors or people management skills if you want to call it that. 

I've got a 5 month old and just started training for a half-marathon soI'm somewhat sleep-deprived and my brain isn't firing on all cylinders this morning.

He does not want to risk being fired.
