I also do Short term rentals which I feel only a small people do it right in this area and which is why I chose that market. 

I have read the book Estimating Rehab Cost but I feel its not right for my area or outdated.

Good luck on your journey and feel free to reach out if you ever need any guidance or advice.

I don't want anyone to feel like I am forcing out Step-dad, but it is a big house and the rent (and upkeep) are more than one person may want to handle.

we have until spring of 2025 until our balloon loan either has to be refinanced or paid off (we got this loan because we intended to build, of course) and now i feel like it's a ticking time bomb.we conducted "clean and satisfactory" (no issues whatsoever to build) soil and foundation tests and provided those to every buyer. it seemed (not quite sure here) like they backed out once they reviewed the tests - yet there is nothing negative in them. we will not be providing these tests moving forward (as we had to do them ourselves and feel that each buyer should do their due diligence moving forward!)

Feel free to message me with any questions. 

Hotels (until recent years) never allowed pets and people still travelled.Not saying whether or not allowing pets is a necessary part of running a successful STR, but I wouldn't feel like it's mandatory.

Anything you feel is really important for the commercial and industrial industry?
