The trick is that is is burned down and in the process of being fully rebuilt by the HOA.

Would like to learn some tricks to streamline property management.I have owned an Air BnB property in South Bend for about a year now.

Hi I picked up J scott book but Besides getting hands on experience - what tricks did you learn for getting more accurate rehab costs?

I started off unlicensed just helping out an STR property management company at 18, just learning the tricks of the trade.

There are some tricks to the trade but this should help you get started looking around. 

I know there are arguments to both sides of every coin but with the whole Morris invest debacle (who only accepted cash buys) it’s gonna be hard to override my opinion on this, especially if you’re dealing in sub 50k purchases Thanks for your comment.Over the years I've gained a tonne of insight into how companies operate and it's not what you think.To this day, I don't know of many turnkey companies that are offering finance on their deals where investors still don't over pay for the property.The biggest and the best in the industry control the entire finance process and know tricks on how to influence appraisals.Like selling for cash at higher than market value and "booking" in the sale on the MLS.The hundreds of cash comps are then used to pull up the value when someone is looking to finance.They single handedly over inflate the value in an area by doing this.I don't even want to start on how they also exclusively use local community banks that will "dance to their beat" as they get millions in new loans every month.Finding the right team and working with the right people is the key to success in turnkey.If you think an appraiser or building inspector are protecting your best interests than you are wrong in my opinion.Spend the time in finding the right people/company and you will do well.DON'T INVEST until you find the right people no matter how long it takes.Much success 

Tips, tricks, or any other advice at beginning this journey?
