Airbnb is relatively hot around us and we are located very close to two places that host classes/seminars/etc.Any initial gut thoughts?

I am kidding, the thing about the initial 2% is in places like Bay area it actually is a serious accomplishment.

Eviction Process:  On the initial hearing date, you can ask for a trial.

Agreed, I would much rather self manage initially, but not being local I don't have much choice. 

This could take a further month...Take pictures of everything and have a witness present, so that you can't be accused of stealing anything.It will take a long time to process and there is nothing you can do about it.After the initial shock wears off that this has actually happened, it's a case of putting one foot in front of the other and following what your attorney tells you, to the letter.I deliberated long and hard about posting this. 

I have 122K invested total after rehab and was initially estimating the house had an ARV of 150K.  

If you're doing cash for keys it's gotta be a counter vs your initial offer...

It also logs entries so if the pest guy bills me I can verify that he was indeed at the home and entered.Plus, codes can be easily added and deleted so it’s not always the same code.

@Darrell Bratton HUD, like most gov’t related reo’s have an initial period where only owner occupants can offer, the first 21 days I believe.  

@Sergio AguinagaFrom my Experience with Cozy for the late fee I managed it myself but the following link talks about automatic fees: https://cozy.co/blog/new-automatic-late-fees/also go here to find out more info/to verify: https://helpdocs.cozy.coYou will also want to have in writing that all fees will be paid first and then rent so if all the fees and rent are not paid then you can add another late fee and start eviction process depending on your lease and local laws.
