The media as a whole is for profit and situations like this present an opportunity to sell air time so to speak.

For emergency repairs, like replacing a hot water heater, pulling the permit after the fact is permissable in my area.

My capex budget includes roof, floors, appliances and hot water heater, hvac and kitchen and bath remodel. 

It's hard to say because there are so few properties available for sale in Asheville, NC and the market is red hot.

Won't be able to replace the roof 25 year life span, appliances and hot water heater 12 year life span, hvac 20 year life span, bath and kitchen 20 year life span with your budget.

Does a bear in a hot tub count?

For those that we are keeping on AirBNB, we are reducing base prices, increasing discounts for longer stays, including sanitation protocol language, changing to flexible cancellation, listing on multiple platforms (VRBO/Air/Booking.com), optimizing listing titles & photos as much as possible.
