I’m new to this so wondering how you all with experience would handle a situation like this.

I would also prioritize trying to replace your regular 9-5 job and then gradually increasing your income with more experience.

The reason is we need to be able to prove it when situations like this come up we just send them the photos at move in and that's that. 

Does anyone have experience in this market and can recommend good local managers?

A bad tenant can screw things up royally and/or make your day to day life harder than necessary especially if you have little experience with such matters.

I'm using my logic not my experience to come up with this but I'm hoping to get some insight from experienced BP members on the oder of opperations for attacking a rehab.thanks in advance.

In my experience, its already too late to get a deal if its already listed in such websites.

@Alessa LeSardefinitely - most hard money lenders will loan you some percentage of the purchase and the rehab (85-100 depending on your experience level, number of deals, relationship with them, etc.)  

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with Propwire and your results compares to other list pulling sites?

Travel insurance exists for a reason.This is me speaking from experience as a guest and not a STR owner.
