Obviously, the layer wants to get paid as well.

Here is why:  When I make a recommendation on a property that I know I am going to be manging I feel an added layer of accountability that this property better perform as promised.  

Hardwood floors are durable and if you have 'em already and they're usable, by all means, keep them.Not having anything done to them in 30 years could be a plus if the wear layer is still thick enough to allow for it to be sanded.  

Labor intensive, but granite tiles are $5 sq ft, plus 2 layers of ply and either Hardybacker or Ditra underlayment.  

This of course led to an increase in the value of my computer data, which is now protected by layers of paranoid backup. 

The trick is finding a team of people you can trust, using layers of protection and advice, and making sure everyone else makes money so they are happy and want to take care of you.If you think about it, unless you're a super handy guy or insist on managing your own properties, you wouldn't need to go directly to your own property even if it was right down the street.

Creates another layer of asset protection in case of an FDCPA or other suit.

I have a different calendar layer with unique color for each vacation rental.To sync calendars between sites, I do the following:Import my Airbnb calendar to the VRBO calendar for each listingImport my VRBO calendar to the Airbnb calendar for each listingManually add any off-site reservations (people who reach out to me directly) to the VRBO calendar for each listingThis is the best workaround I have come up with and has been working pretty well for me.

How many layers?

At the time I thought if they are masking one problem that I discovered, then what other problems may be lurking undetected?
