While this is regular due diligence, mistakes can be made when the market is hot and you have to move fast.

For reference I own exactly one handful (5) SFH  rentals in my hometown, all have been purchased in the last 4 years.1) buying at a discount is MY preferred way to reduce risk.

@Sidra Amir I work in a group home that regularly has a pest company come in and inspect for bed bugs with a bed bug detection dog.

Any ideas or references are welcome.

Borrowers will be provided an upfront disclosure detailing this information.Contractor(s) Acceptance: Ø does not “approve” contractors or refer contractors.

Those other probs have now gone away plus I'm making a lot more dough from my regular work/day job these days.

What they could have done better is referred me to a better PM, who actually does better work, they could have helped me in analyze the property better, they could have atleast helped me get a property which does not loose value over time but gains it(which they clearly lied to me about).

Even if it takes longer to pay off, having a steady, reliable tenant might actually be less stressful than managing an STR.FYI - consider starting with a regular rental but structuring it as a 6-12 month lease.

I would recommend to look into something more powerful for business/corporate usage.Section C is not my expertise, but I would recommend to follow  the law and have strong security policy such as minimum password requirements and regular changes.To end this on a positive note, Cybersecurity is slowly moving to the forefront of business thinking and it's taken more seriously now than 10, 20 years ago.
