@Ryan Barone Thank you!

Hey @Ryan Hebert Connect with Meghan.

@Ryan FieldsWelcome to the community!

Could you get away with not giving the lease back, probably but if there was actually a cockroach infestation than that’s on you and they made a reasonable choice by moving out immediate.

@Ryan MoyerThat’s a great idea, currently we do not directly ask our guests to leave us a review.

If its the nicest house on the block, when people get there and see the mobile home next to it and if the other areas look not so good, probably not gonna get repeat guests.If this is your first, it will be easier for you to learn the ropes with a property you will be visiting from time to time and you get to use it when its not rented.That's my cursory thoughts based on what you have shared so far between those two choices.

It's a sure path to failure. if you're goal is cash flow and you live in a high cost market which is any where in the Bay Area, you really don't have a choice but to go out of state, otherwise you're just trying to pound a square peg in to a round hole.

Going forward, you can just include additional language/terms that provide an opportunity for contractors of your choice to inspect the property during the due diligence period.

What would the cash flow be on either choice? 

Hi BP Family,Ryan Hogan, thanks for all that great information.
