That language is in there for a reason and the verbiage is very critical to how an issue would be handled. 

One of my issues is I am not sure what the neighborhoods are like at the properties I find on-line.  

The issue is housing, housing is 1/3 of CPI and inflation is floating at or above 3.

So, if your bathroom was un-permitted you may be required to remedy that issue with this renovation.

Since I am doing the work, I have no quality issues and believe in doing the job right.

For STR I only use it to post expenses since Airbnb handles collection and distribution of funds but as I say, that part is cumbersome.

I used to use Cozy.co as a payment and issue reporting portal for my tenants, but I didn’t like what apartments.com did with it when they bought them out.Before I had my real estate license, I’d only post my rentals to Zillow.  

Does that really help with my 2 main issues?

You'll have the same issue with 99.9% of agents.

Doing so will help mitigate the risk of getting into a property without knowing all of the issues, good and bad, about the property.
