Why go through all the trouble of sourcing and leasing up rental property only to have your acquisitions be temporary leases and lose out on all appreciation the property experiences while you're operating it. 

I also use the Vrbo tools and it provides all the automation I need and I'm not spending money on a bunch of extra software 

@Julie Bourdon*Agents have entered the chat* hahaPeople are making money in virtually every market.

Then use that money to complete the purchase of your replacement property in the 1031.2.

Even if it's a nice home, without being able to produce the income your expecting, it's likely going to be a losing investment. 

I'm witnessing my neighbor go through hell and paying for squatters living in their house and losing money instead of making for 7 months while trying to get these people evicted.

@Alan HaleCan’t answer number 2 but financing has nothing to do with your profit I’m it doesn’t matter what you buy whether a car, home or pack of toothpicks, your profit is what you paid for it minus your costs/expensesWhere financing does come into play is it is a cost as money is not free - but it’s only what you have paid for that financing.Hope that makes sense

When I give the guest an option like this, 9/10 times, the guest never rebooks and I keep their money. 

@Eyouel DemissieThe $30k in back rent doesn't really matter at this point since the current owner, or you will never see that money. 

Ditto Nathan.Home Warranties are horrible and a waste of time and money for the poorest quality.I have too many bad experiences with them. doesn't matter which one.
