Jeff Oberts and don’t forget to send your guests and make them sign the rental agreement (easier done on vrbo than AirBnB) that says “if you break your finger it’s not my problem” so these situations never occur.

We live in Terre Haute, IN, which is in desperate need of investors to help clean up the area.

Of course, your market could be completely different than mine, but our 8’ x 10’ units are our most difficult to rent, while the 10’ x 15’ and larger are significantly easier to rent.

@Chris Pohlson get educated on commercial/mfam and financing associated with the asset class. there's more scale and the financing (debt and equity) can become easier. 

I will invest in a power wash clean out the dirt, silt.

If the unit is vacated you should be free to clean and relet.

I may just have the place cleaned up and sell it as is.

We find it to be so much easier to use and the fees are 1/3 of the HomeAway group (VRBO, HomeAway, Vacation Rentals,)All that being said some markets are much more conducive for the VRBO crowd.

You would get 150 for a quick 24 to 48 hours turn around and  BPO was easier.

However, had this realtor contacted me in advance, I would have had the deal structured with Seller Credit to pay closing costs.The property was listed at approx. 600k, so there was over 20k in possible Seller Credit to pay buyer's closing costs, so I would have had the realtor make the offer as follows$594,000 sales price $20,000  >>> seller credit towards buyer's costs<<<$574,000  same net to seller+$200 for doc stamps & owners titleRealtors just don't understand how such an effortless structuring of a purchase with Seller Credit can make life so much easier for their client's ability to qualify for their best loan terms
