I'm looking forward to connecting with and learning from you all!

You also learn from every quote you get, and always ask for a breakdown of labor and materials or further itemization (you might not get it every time). 

I include a generalized listing of items such as " Property including, but not limited to: clothing, toys, cookware, and other items." 

I'd love to connect with you to learn more about your current properties and your future plans!

@Bridget McGingAt some point, you have to just do it and buy the first STR and learn as you go.

Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Learn then maybe tackle something like this.
