Hidden conditions & acts of God.

I would see the hidden bigger expenses, such as the roof and HVAC replacement, greatly hurting the cashflow of the property.

You can maaaybe find out if something was hidden. 

Went up to the home depot to check if they had the Schlage Connect and to my surprise saw one hidden Schlage Encode box on the top shelve.

But I feel that technically, that cash belongs in my home equity and I only tapped it due to market pressures to secure a great deal.I thought about taking the rental property and now refinancing it to place a mortgage on it and use the proceeds to payback my primary home mortgage back to the 100k existing.. but rates shot up...Then the property would appear to be leveraged with the note being on the rental rather than it's current hidden location within my primary home mortgage.While I bought it in 'cash', the cashflow will go to service the mortgage on my house which used to be ~2k/mo with 100k left but now is something around 4.5k/mo with 700k left to pay off...So technically, the rental has this 600k @4.6% to payback...

I have to set a code manually for every guest (just use the last 5 of their phone number) using the Schlage app then copy/paste the instructions from there (which include the code) into the VRBO messaging system. 

on hidden costs?

Give written instructions on disposing of trash (like keep the dang lid on the trash cans), using exhaust fans when cooking/bathing (or crack open a window), what surfaces need a special cleaner. 

Both parties have 14 days following checkout to write a review, which remains hidden until both host and guest have submitted their reviews.

You will have plenty more opportunities to be that good energy in the world.The best example is on the plane when they talk about the instructions for when the oxygen mask drops down, you put yours on first and then your child or elderly companion or neighbor.
