Also it is definitely not as easy as just going at the beginning of the week and leaving at the end, people will have questions, complaints, request all sorts of things they wouldn't ask a normal landlord about because they want vacations to be perfect, so any small problems have to be fixed immediately so as not to cut into their perfect vacation time.This is not meant to sound negative but just make sure you are aware of all the facts before jumping in it's not as easy as it sounds, and definitely more work than long term rentals.

If such information was meant to be public it would be listed on the public side of that listing.

Don't forget, real estate agents are a very powerful group, and elected officials have slanted things in their favor.

Siegel also admitted on camera to engaging in undisclosed illegal activities in Florida during the 2000 United States elections, which he claims were singularly responsible for getting George W.

Is that meant, the property manager who I am using to manage my condo can potential sell house?

What I meant is if I don't have the capital, but have a family member who does.

It appears that the way that I phrased my original question caused some confusion as I meant to explain that we were simply interested in a rate & term refi to pay off the private money loan - NOT pull cash out.

We made an offer this summer but the seller was unrealistic as to value so waited and he finally came down to our price when the election showed he was going to have to pay a lot more in taxes if he sold in 2013.

It took me a while to figure-out what it meant.

Not sure what you meant, adding to our cost....maintenance of the account is a business expense if held in a business and yes it's an expense, but it doesn't increase your cost basis in the property. :)
