The landlords that don't have large reserves and the ones that are over leveraged are going to be in a tough spot really quickly.I also think a lot of the "get rich quick" airbnb hosts are going to get wiped out if this lasts for more than a few months.

We visit on a regular basis and then rent it out as a vacation rental when we are not there.

The host is Garret Rhodes.

Yesterday I agreed to purchase a house in Michigan sale price is $110,000The seller is asking that I pay $40,000 upfront to eliminate the current mortgage then the remainder $70,000 on seller finance for four years can be longer as the seller likes the idea of a regular income.The seller doesn't want any connection to the house and ideally wants to be just a lender.

I guess if it goes straight from Active to Pending in MLS then you can assume there was no option, but that's not 100% true.You just have to determine a way to make your offers stronger....more earnest, more option, faster option, higher price, offer to pay title, eliminate the home warranty and there's a whole host of other things you can do to make your offers look better. 

Toe-kicks would be installed on all cabinets (more on this later).While the work was being done, I would regularly inspect the work at the end of the day.

I recently read a short article (link below) about Airbnb petitioning the government that the company and its hosts should be treated as the hotel industry and included in any disaster relief - couldn't agree more given Airbnb's awful cancellation strategy overriding hosts default settings.https://www.phocuswire.com/Airbnb-asks-for-government-support?

It is very similar to the regular flu so the cure is to hydrate, manage your symptoms, keep your fevers low, eat well, sleep well and let our amazing bodies take care of it.The hysteria is interesting but I am no longer shocked by it as I have witnessed a few snow storms since moving here and the reaction is very similar. 

They are no longer my competitors.That said, consolidating your loan if your buying on the regular is a good idea.
