I have pictures of all the units on our website and as tenants leave I’m taking a video walking the property for my records.

I had around $30K in cash to cover the down payment, closing costs, and any rehab necessary.

I think VRBO/HomeAway rewards you for playing by all of their silly rules (number of pictures, response time, reviews, etc.) and lot of people don't like that.

The sheet can't cover everything under the sun but it can serve as a good starting point to the new investor (such as myself).

We also have a SFH investment property in Charlotte, NC with about 11 years remaining on the mortgage (the rental income covers the monthly mortgage and the taxes.)We have some cash available and we are considering purchasing an investment property in Duck, NC (where we have been going for years on family vacations.) 

I have a high interest in nailing this one as we have made decisions with the confidence in the Des Moines macro picture being solid.Here's a few observations in speaking to your question:I used to volunteer very heavily for an organization that would re-settle refugees, from all around the world. 

Covered porch with spacious prepared area is perfect for hosting those summer backyard parties.

Do you cover a good portion of your rehab with cc's? 

not just pictures but in person to?

I would be concerned about insurance not covering you if you had an unpermitted apartment in your basement that circumvented local zoning.
