So the two events were unrelated.

I'm under no pressure to do or buy anything so watching the CRE space play out from the sidelines works just fine for me.If that's your definition of a clown, it's time for me to go paint my face! 

I always think it's important to look at and understand both ends of the spectrum, so you can make an informed decision that makes the most sense for you. 

Seems like Google doesn't partner with AirBnB like they do VRBO, booking.com, and others so that means my property won't show up as a vacation rental with the "check availability" booking link on google maps or google web search. 

If so, have them hold the builder to the fire, that is not acceptable for a brand new home and that should be on them to fix that and anything else.

I use HELOCs or savings etc so the bank where I have these accounts is the same as my checking account for the HOLDING LLC. 

I’ve been using https://resrents.com/ for a month now as my property management in Denver and so far so good!

Maggie, keep in mind that pricing is based on demand so “expensive” property will usually outperform “affordable” property that is affordable because it’s often a crappy house in a crappy neighborhood that will attract crappy tenants.

My agent is shopping for a new policy but so far multiple underwriters are refusing to write policies for the same issue.

This property is always between 60 - 75 percent occupancy, so we are not desperate for bookings.
