So we subsequently had to then "rectify" all the previous work - the absolute cost to rectify it was not much (less than a grand);  however, we had to get 3 permits pulled, and it took 4 (yes, 4) months before the city finally signed off on everything. 

On the other hand, what Grand Cardone does as "crowd funding" could be considered 506c where he can solicit and post on every existing platform.Invest Differently,Mauricio

I had a home inspection and discovered a couple of repairs that will cost me a few grand.

And on the island of Grand Bahama we have no property taxes.

If you can come up with an extra couple grand right now to cut your losses that may be better off. 

My parents live in Arroyo Grande and we like to stop in Summerland when we drive up to visit but homes there are pricey.

@Kristen Reyes not really, maybe a couple grand tops

There's no marketing involved in getting you to use your own home, there's no guest communication during your stay required, etc.I realize $50 is nothing in the grand scheme of things but the idea of paying someone $50 to let me use my own home that I own is ridiculous.Again though, that is assuming you are paying the cleaning fee on top of this. 

Likely a small pill to swallow in the grand scheme.

I'd solve a problem for a grand, sometimes as a favor for a Realtor (cheap advertising).
