Some preparer are afraid to share any information due to the fear you will take the information provided and self prepare and subsequently not get paid.

If you can't make it to BPCON24, we will livestream the conversation.

Many YouTube videos and books on the subject will help, too.I found that practicing analyzing deals was very beneficial. 

The security deposit was about 1.5x monthly rent..... the PM attempted to collect the final rent payment but was unsuccessful.....Now according to the property management company they need to technically apply the security deposit to the rent (according to them is part of some sort of fair housing law or something etc.) vs applying it to the damage caused by the tenant. 

Here is what I say will have the most impact on your ROI from using a VA to cold call for you:1) You need to plug in the VA into a system that works.

If you can place the right tenant, many of your other issues will be virtually non-existent.  

The warranties always take a lot of time, and you will either end up filing a warranty to find that it is going to take too long and then purchasing something else the same day, or you will end up giving refunds back to guests while you wait on the warranty to be handled.I learned this the hard way when I first got in to rentals.

Also, I will touch base with my current home owners insurance co but I'm curious about the scenario you laid out (requiring renter's insurance + advising home owner insurance that you have another person in the dwelling) -- did this suffice for you because you chose higher liability coverage?

I will start there!

Definitely, you will introduce a different demographic from vrbo then you will with airbnb.
