Even though I didn't see it first hand(thank goodness for facetime), I had some trusted boots on the ground that allowed me to feel confident that they understood my requirements and had my best interests in mind. 

Feel free to give me a call for info on those areas.

However, based on some of the feedbacks, I have a feeling that some people didn’t read my whole entry or missed some points I tried to make, so I will make some clarification here.(1)I said this previously and I will repeat it again: “I am not saying it's a bad idea to invest in an STR.

I have been in this business really close to 10 years now and am starting to feel that working with investors is just no longer doable.

I would be happy to talk you through it feel free to message me.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like to chat about it.

Hey @Chris Coleman, Feel free to reach out.

But here I am, trying to put a really strong offer in on a home and I’m not sure if I should go in with the mindset that it’s a 3b/2ba 1,895 sq ft or a 4b/2ba 2,055 sq ft… Seeing as I’m going to rent this one day, if I myself decide to get it assessed/permitted as square footage (which I don’t know how much of a pain it truly is), I ran some rent estimators online (RentCast.io) and the rental comp differences between those two scenarios is about $2,275/monthly vs. $2,600/monthly, which is huge! 

C and some W-2 for some years but not current).Happy to share details if someone feels they can help.
