You will need new flooring, paint, carpets, drapes, etc...and a complete new paint job with multiple coats of primer and high quality (read expensive) paint.

If you have a full coat of paint though, that can easily be close to 1k.

The way market is I'm not going to sugar coat, it's very hard to find a good properties for buyers.

so far I’d just checked as a landlord with Safeco, Mercury, a few Farmers agencies and some other agencies that represent others which all said they won’t cover me, however, one Farmer agency sold me a $900 policy and said I’ll be covered which I later scope into the policy coverage that spelled out it doesn’t cover animals and I’d confirmed this with the Farmers district manager office; one of their policy writer called their underwriter.

Ditto the previous suggestions.I'd suggest asking about animals, not pets.

He claims a mink coat was stolen and from what I can see, a bogus claim, A co-worker of mine had a tenant with a burglary, claims dozen pairs of designer shoes worth $500/pair were stolen and she tells me it's also a bogus claim.

Just off the top of my head:- One sided reviews wherein the fairness or accuracy of the review is unmonitored; - Hefty skimming fees charged by the middle man;- Penalties to the host for denying scam stays or individuals attempting to break house rules (parties, animals, etc);- Search and listing penalties for enacting policies designed to protect/provide more security for your property (non-instant bookings, higher minimum stays, etc);- No vetting whatsoever of people who sign up to use the service, leaving the host to sort out the bums from the honest people (and take the penalty for tossing the bums aside).In my opinion AirBnb & VRBO (and Booking, to a lesser extent) have been vehicles for an arms race to the bottom.

Lending is it's own animal and real estate attorneys that perform tons of closings a day with conventional lenders just get docs emailed to them and they point where to sign.

You also need to consider the legalities of tenants with service and emotional support animals.
