I forget the seller's story, but essentially a purchase offer would have been ~$70-75K with a $30-40K rehab IIRC.

You can make whatever offer you want to make based on your math and MAO, but don't lie them by falsely claiming that their property is worth less than X dollars in a market.

Generally most places offer 100% of one month rent.

This step must be done carefully to avoid further damage.Structural Repairs: Address any structural damage first, including the roof, walls, and foundation.Systems Repair: Repair or replace electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems as needed.Interior Restoration: Once the structural and system repairs are complete, focus on restoring the interior, including insulation, drywall, flooring, and fixtures.Safety and Health Concerns:Air Quality: Ensure proper ventilation and air quality during and after the restoration process to remove smoke odors and contaminants.Mold Remediation: Check for and address any mold growth, which can be a common issue in fire-damaged properties due to water used in firefighting.Final Inspections:City Inspections: Coordinate with the city for final inspections to ensure that the property is safe and habitable.Fire Department Clearance: Obtain clearance from the Fire Department confirming that the property is safe to occupy.I hope this helps, best of luck!

I'd highly recommend working with a lender who has worked with STRs before.

I have been offered 32 unit Mini Storage. 

They are currently offering 14% up to 20% on a particular project they are working on. 

I have worked with about 6 agents and all of them seem to be tired of writing offers for me.

(They are no longer taking the high risk of insuring rental properties in CA).

I'm looking at buying a self-serve car wash and force value / revenue by installing a car port / detail bay for a mobile detailer to be stationed there weekly and offer custom detail services.
