If we continue paying off debt at our current rate, we'll be out from under my student loans in less than three years.Who in the BP community is in the Clark County, WA, or Vancouver, WA area who would be interested in connecting for coffee or lunch?

@Matthew NicklinAre you able to meet for coffee this week to discuss working together.

Keep it nearby.

And how great that is. but a vacation rental dollar is not the same as a long-term tenant dollar. 3% credit card charge, software, insurance that can be two or three times more expensive and may be hard to get, the industry trend for listing sites to charge a commission to the owner such as booking.com at 15%, the fact that vacation rentals require self-employment tax, Linens and cleaners and maintenance people who have to keep it perfect, every possible kitchen appliance and coffee setups add toilet paper and soap and everything else, up to 30% to a property manager. so maybe if you're lucky a vacation rental dollar is 75% of a long-term tenant dollar.

We should set up a time to get a coffee or a beer and talk shop. 

The area was still rough but coffee shops and creative folks were moving in.

It might be better to find an investor and meet for coffee to pick their brain about some of that.

It's the Rocket City, so you have so many professionals moving to the area for jobs, and universities nearby.
