Just waiting for my postcards to arrive.

However, most properties on the market for this price will require some rehab before they’re rent-ready.On that note, I’m curious to know: what sort of expense assumptions you’re building into your models to arrive at this $50k–$65k figure?

Victoria" told Donna she could go take a look at the property, said someone was there already taking a tour but most likely would be gone when she arrived, to let her know when she arrived and she would give her the location of the key...when Donna got there she contacted her and "Victoria" had to reach out to whomever to bring the key back, some guy that Donna didn't feel the need to be able to identify down the road...hindsight being what it is..another lesson learned

I show them the property, personally, because I like to see if they arrive on time, are communicative in general, and what questions they ask during the tour.If they want an application, since they were already communicating through Zillow, I can send the application link to them directly through app right away.  

Also, analyze how they arrived at their projections.

I can have a new one delivered and installed in half the time of waiting on a repairman to arrive, then order parts and come back out to fix.

Who knows, but I am sure that demand letters and lawsuits will be arriving for the homeowner soon.Today, take a moment to stop fussing about how much you are/aren't making off of your STR, and focus on risk management of your property. 

I'll be happy to buy you a beer upon your arrival.

Look them up and you will arrive at your answer.

That avoids a recession temporarily, but it only makes it that much worse when it arrives.
