From my first call or email to you, how long do you typically take to fund a request?

Problem #2: My emails were far more lucky than my phone calls.

Should i call a property manager?

I called my realtor who checked - it is Not a Short sale.

I'm looking to pick up my first property and I'm trying get a good deal on it, so I've been cold calling distressed sellers in the Houston area. 

You touched on this as well If any problems, mgmt will be flooded with calls regarding this non-essential amenity.  

Luckily the State of Florida restricts municipalities ability to restrict STR's since 2011 so one less thing for us to worry about here.However, I do agree the "bust" is mostly over (depending on market) as we are up 15% YoY on our existing portfolio, but I would stop short of calling it a boom!

This is a duplex and I live in the upstairs unit so I got to hear all of it and I had to be the one to call the police.

It sounds like you had trespassers and should have called the police.

So i called a plumber who came over and installed it.
