I have spent quite some time learning, researching and preparing for my first Short Term Rental.

On paper, our municipality looks more dangerous, but if you spent 10 minutes on the ground you would realize the reverse is true.Some parts of the country basically have a "catch and release" program for criminal behavior. 

You have to be careful its not that these guys can beat you out of an upfront fee of 500 to 5000. but you have spent the time to find a deal you put up EM it maybe non refundable and when these guys just vanish without a trace your out what you paid them you lost your EM  your money on inspections and most important THE DEAL that was going to make you big bucks.

You're asking someone to spend a lot of time and energy to share what they've spent years - maybe decades - learning and developing.

It's was all about maximizing every dollar spent and minimizing every expense we could to have as many dollars left over for profit for us. 

You found a new tenant immediately, so there's no financial loss to you except for the time spent marketing, screening, etc. 

We spent money on the inspector, the appraiser, and the lawyer.

@Tiago Montoya I'm not an expert, but have spent a significant amount of time and energy researching tax liens/deeds in my state and the state adjacent to me.

Photographers spent a whole year trying to gain a foothold there.
