This reminds me of the story of a wall-street banker convincing a fisherman who already has time for his friends / family to instead scale his fisherman business(get employees, integrate, then sell the business) all of which will lead him to be able to spend time with his friends and family.It already sounds like you have a great life - spending time wth family and in great health.Having additional money doesn't sounds like it would improve your life that much.

Lead was brought to us through Facebook sphere. $25,000 rehab budget, will have on the market in less than 45 days What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

These are what-ifs and usually lead to anxiety for a lot of people.

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

I hope you or someone is at least keeping an eye on your properties for break ins, squatters, roof leaks, temperature control, frozen pipes (if in cold climate), if you have a basement and sump pump goes out leading to water damage etc.I just talked to two investors in California that have let their properties sit vacant (no mortgages so paying property taxes and insurance).

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.

And I'd hope people have enough wit's to figure if someone BS's their way to get "biz leads" there probably going to BS their way through/around anything/everything else.     

Based on my experience, it’s often not worth the time and expense because appeals frequently lead to no change in the tax assessment.

Pretty much the core of the STR business.Higher your rank gets, you can increase your price and be more picky in selecting customers which usually lead to a better review / less party or complaints / less expense and higher profit with a happy life.I know some people will argue, but the ranking system is the truth and should be the only guide to your STR journey. 

Wouldn't buy leads from them.
