Would you take an escrow account with a deposit?

My BP account was messed up for 2 days so I couldn't respond to anyone.

@Jake AndronicoI’ve looked into them but have never executed one.Let me say they will be expensive and complicated.I think what you will find if one is trying to defer $50,000 to $100,000 in gain, it’s not going to be worth the time and trouble.On the other hand, if client is trying to defer gain of $500,000 to $1,000,000, it’s worth the time and trouble.I use First American Exchange for my own account a dozen times and they have been right on the money.Google them and reach out.Arn

It's pretty much already been said...normal wear and tear for small picture hanging holes...cost to repaint entire unit needs to be accounted for in the total rent from a 1 year lease.

I use a Netflix and a HULU account specifically for the STRs. 

I’m an out-of-state investor working on building my online presence, and I’m currently running into an issue with setting up my Google My Business (GMB) account.

Computers can analyze property based on subjective data (square footage, # of beds/baths, etc.) but cannot calculate for objective data (quality of kitchen cabinets/counters, size of bedrooms and bathrooms, view out the living room window, etc.).You should study the market yourself.

I'm trying to juggle this and some conference calls. hahahttps://docs.google.com/spread...Also, Account Closed thanks for contributing. 

Once that reserve fund is established, move all future cash flow to an investment account.

Starting out, I would try to take equity from your primary/another property using a HELOC, borrower against a 401k/retirement account, or partner with someone that has cash.
