Calling professionals right now...

Are you near Fauquier hospital ?

If I was in your position, I'd look to rent the Oakley house..... shouldn't be difficult to get young professionals, or grad students from Xavier.

Much simpler and they can be screened by professionals without you lifting a finger.

I'm based out of Hampton Roads, specifically Virginia Beach and I'm looking to start attending some local REIA's and general networking with other investors, marketing professionals, Real Estate attorney, title companies, builders and contractors etc.

start with professional or nuce pics and a good listing. get vacation rental insurance and a reliable house cleaner and you're good to go. also make sure you line up back up cleaners in case they flake. also get coded door locks so guests can self check in yet not lose the key. is that what you meant?

Perhaps she needs some counseling and someone with professional experience to help her sort out her finances. 

I could have just gone to TREC but instead tried to get PROFESSIONAL advice. 

I don't know anything about the listing agent, but the listing broker is a long time local broker, second generation at the ReMax office his Dad started, and was very professional and rapid in his handling of it. 

Either way, you can hire a professional who can fight the tax increase (if egregious) on your behalf.
