As someone who’s invested out of state and locally I disagree with that last statement wholeheartedly.

I would disagree with this.

Debt pay down is usually an emotional decision and not a financial decision.The only thing I disagree with is the idea of paying off the higher interest rate first. 

Long story short, he believes it’ll cost around mid $200K to build which would be more than the home is worth in the area (I somewhat disagree based on recent comps). 

It would be a mess.Property management company should be responsible for collecting rent, managing the tenant and the property which includes repairs and utilities.You record this transaction once when the property management company reports the monthly statement to you.I have to disagree with that, but I understand the concern.

I’m under contract now with a home that looks promising as a STR in a more up and coming area of East Tampa.We ran into appraisal issues as it completely under appraised, but myself and my realtor completely disagree with the appraisal that undervalued the home by $68k…We tried contesting the appraisal but no luck, so we requested an extension, switched lenders and am awaiting a new appraisal.

Makes for a better tenant and a better relationship, and I disagree that it opens the door for the tenant to expect a credit for any little item. 

@Patrick Britton We agree, "No one will care about your properties as well as the owner", but disagree with, "No one will manage them as well as the owner".Why?

If you can read legalesehttps://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/lawsstatutes/2013ors656.htmlOn the previous advice that it is okay to get excluded Personal/Advertising Injury, I also disagree. 

., I disagree with @Cal Martin.
