If a landlord wanted airbnb why would he not simply do it himself.

That doesn't cut it for me.

I simply take the 2-3 day no-fee transfer from these platforms.

Rent probably around 1400-1500/month depending on finishes and exact location.The number simply don't work well in Huntsville right now.

As Plano is a pretty nice clean cut buttoned up type of community they don't seem to have a lot of tolerance even for just a few bad apples.Dallas is considering a ban. 

I personally dont do any of that.. every market / or most will have an active fix and flip sector or buy and hold sector the important thing to me is the operator full stop.. great operator will do well in any market and all the national data simply is noise at least at my level. ( loaning our own money and JV deals with our own money)  we dont broker or anything like that.

Tenant may have forgotten to cut it before a vacation. 

A strong buyers market indicates sellers price cutting and listings being bought under value which would lead to equity losses. 

If you have an active root...over time it will grow back in there unless you excavate, cut and remove. 

.- Most contractors will cut corners, or worse, once they figure out they won't be watched closely:( Your job will also go to the bottom of their priority list.Monitoring progress is relatively easy: hire that same inspector to go by weekly or before any payments to take a VIDEO of:1) What was done2) Quality of workmanshipOne other thing you didn't ask about, payments to contractors.- They all want 50% down or as much as they can squeeze out of you.
