My personal belief is that "It is not the software that defines the process, but the process that should define the software" In other words, each and every one of us have a unique business, with unique processes that can utilize software to reduce workload, provide a better customer experience and automate tasks.

Hi @Joe Tomko The point of utilizing Facebook is to market to your already existing sphere of influence and then expand from there. 

I'm a little leary to think that 6 nights (3 weeks * 2 nights) is going to be enough to cover mortgage, insurance, property tax, maintenance, cleaning, furnishing, 100% of utilities, cable, internet, etc. but maybe I'm all wrong. 

Hi BP community,Has anyone in the Pittsburgh area, specifically serviced by People's Gas, Duq Light or PAWC purchased one of those utility line protection plans and actually had to file a claim?

I always like to start with the rents and reverse engineer it.Current rent $625-25% total (vacancy repairs cap ex management)Assuming tenants pay all utilities $470 left before monthly payment, taxes, insurance -$500(estimated) Monthly mortgage payment & insurance (no tax) for a 15 year loan.OR-$350(estimated) Monthly mortgage payment & insurance (no tax) for a 30 year loan.Depending on what kind of loan you have out15 year loan, cash flow = -$3030 year loan, cash flow = $120This does not take into consideration the rent increases.

Both offers utilized escalation clauses. 

A little about me, I am in San Jose, CA and I work in the tech industry.

With an FHA I plan on minimal down and then utilize my funds to rehab.

Your friend has about $7k per year cost of maintaining her property - if we ignore utilities (unless they are included in the condo fee, which sounds too low to cover all utilities) and maintenance. $280k divided by $7k is 40 years.

Hello BP:I’ve been approached by a professional who would like to lease one of my apartments and utilize it for AirBnB.
