Unfortunately mine are note based and specific to our asset class and brand, otherwise I would have no issues sharing

That was not a great answer to your actual question, but those are the big issues with vac efficiency out side of the unit and the duct work itself.  

The issue is that there are pockets of restrictions all around Lake Hamilton so it would pay to have a local agent right away who is familiar with the STR market around there.Hot Springs National Park has around 2m visitors a year so that will be a big draw.Crime is on the higher side vs other areas of the country, but that is pure statistics.

We all make the same claims. ie: “premium service”, “hand-picked homes”, homeowner-friendly onboarding”, “leading industry technology”, “24/7 communication or local support”, “maintenance programs”, “hotel quality linen program”, “preferred vendors” … blah blah blah I sell within what I would consider a “traditional” vacation rental market. ie - your vacation rental is likely not in danger of being put out of business by the local government… an example close to home for me - The City of Dallas’s recent STR Ban.

If you get a restoration company to come in and get all the issues remediated, and they sign off on it, then I don't see how you could be liable if something happened in the future as a result of the fire damage. 

Based on what you have said here, it seems like your A/C damaged them, and asking for payment to be made whole seems righteous.If you pay, talk to an attorney to make sure its a one time shot, and that one payment settles the issue 100% forever, so they will not come back for more later.Good Luck!

Since we are local to our market it is not an issue, however to beat this you could get a Google Voice with a local number that forwards to your phone for free.You will need some sort of boots on the ground anyways so using your contracted cleaner, handyman, or a neighbor or Realtor etc will all work, but me personally I would want the call to come to me so I can figure the best person to call.

I'm not sure if this has been touched on previously but it recently became an issue that I never planned on dealing with.My business purchased a duplex back in November, and one of the tenants picked up and moved out with no notice about a month ago.

Most investors I come across switch funding sources because of qualifying issues related to DTI.

I won't go into details but I have tried to work with many tenants with drug issues and have yet to not have it hit me with a huge financial hit.Sex Offenders: Nope, I have a policy for No Sex Offenders.
