Though, I have other reasons to think the lady we now have doesn't meet our expectations to be part of our team. 

In Oregon, for example, our sales agreements say "pre-approval" most sellers and brokers don't catch this detail but we watch for it and call the lender when we represent the seller to check where they are at in the application process.

So if you look on LAUSD website: https://achieve.lausd.net/Page/14339  the ladies names are Sonya and/or Natalie  But i think you are up at about $4.00 per square ft.The other fees? 

I cannot even count how many hours over the years I have spent on YOUTUBE watching videos of the exact construction issue/solution I was looking for.

We did not have luck when it came to help on this one, the real estate agent was not a good experience for him (I never met him) and the contractors we originally hired were taking forever and not doing good work unless we were here watching them.

The thing you have to watch out for is negative cash flow, and high risk.

I know of a few turnkey Airbnb-ready (non HOA) Scottsdale properties that were recently listed, so if you need any info or background or MLS searches, reach out and I am happy to provide any insights I can.As a side note, we are watching STR legislation carefully as there has been some backlash against large corporate party houses, renting to large parties that have riled up neighbors, especially in Sedona.

Not to mention I don't want to waste another professionals time by watching me talk to another contractor.

Agent is watching in case it falls out of escrow.  

When an elderly neighbor passed away they adopted the old lady & took her shopping & dropped off meals for her etc.
