My wire instructions were sent without the company's request, which was questionable.

That said, Hospitable is great for having a single inbox, automating messages (check-in info, checkout instructions, trash day, offering night before and night after discounts, etc.).

The second way to find deals is to find the hidden value in them.

If the dents or scratches will be hidden by an adjacent wall or cabinet, it's no big deal and a money saver.

Hi Andy,East LA is a HUGE area....Maybe dial it down to a handful of particular neighborhoods with a demographic you like re income, local busineses and crime.IMO walking into a B of A Branch with 1 foot thick glass for the tellers is a sketchy area, when 20 minutes away you can go into a Pep Boys and it's the friendly and has a some nice restaurants around it.Maybe drive the areas and (talk to the Police when they are on break for lunch ask where is good and bad) and find some hidden gem areas to explore and really get to know--boots on the ground.Good Luck! 

I received multiple messages instructing me not to tell anyone it’s an Airbnb, restricted pool usage hours, had to pickup the key from a completely different location which made the check in more difficult (lock boxes apparently weren’t allowed on property- nor the ability to use electronic locks) and the experience overall wasn’t that great (even though the unit itself was nice).As an Airbnb owner myself I always struggle when I want to leave someone less than a 5 star review but my wife wants me to leave a 2 star.

I was told to just write the assignment of contract with our three names on there which includes the title companies instructions of a 1/3 assignment fee split.

The new scratch and dent stainless is great, especially when the scratches will be hidden or hard to see.

I then use my own URL branding to communicate with them directly (though I do send them final instructions through the booking site - safer bet).  

Another hidden gem in tax sale investing would be pipeline property.
