Some want to form an HOA, because the neighborhood is an older community, where there are still lots of original owners, but they are older and I know they are not all able-bodied as they're aging.  

Sometimes if people do not like the evaluation then they can try and stiff the appraiser with paying for it.With an appraisal for a bank, construction loan,etc. the appraiser has standards to meet and can be held more accountable so those reports tend to hold more weight on accuracy although an appraisal is just an opinion and not an absolute.No legal advice given.    

@Matthew Paul I like that expression, but I've never heard of that one - does that come from the Indiana Jones, 'switching sand bags' as weights in replacement of a gem stone/chalice scene?

Whenever I have an AirBnB related expense, I take a photo of the receipt and put the amount, store, etc. in the subject line/body of the email and send it to that email address.

Excellent reputation, and will add a lot more weight to your offer than a credit union.Also if the property is in DC proper....frankly you have very little chance of getting an offer accepted with an inspection contingency.  

However, there are a lot of hotels looking to build in and near downtown Waco and you best believe they will start lobbying and pushing their weight around to get STRs banned or regulated as much as possible when they start moving forward with development.

I mean it makes me proud listening to them talk through all this with no HINT of this being an emergency. which they finally declared and there are pilots that can literally fly an entire career and never declare and emergency.Bottom line approach at their weight was about 140  this guy came barreling down final at 180 to 190 thats a big deal in a Commercial jet liner..  

As far as finding the property, a good realtor is worth their weight in gold!

I wouldn't be ethically setting her up for success in life if I treated her like a "warm body" to just fill the vacancy.

Problem is that the "friend" was just placing warm bodies in there with no real background checks.
