You want a STR that can function, at least somewhat, as a LTR.You want a lease-purchase-option property that can function as a LTR or STR.You want a flip that could function as a LTRThat way if some pesky government farmer comes and jams up your hole, you just pop up one of the others and survive.

They could certainly use a remodel to look nicer, but as is they are functional and basic.

Hi @Dalton N Green,I don't have any clue about Deal Automator in specific, and I hope it is an exception to the rule in this space.Every company I'm aware of that has popped up over the years claiming to "make deals happen automatically" and "make investing easy" are pure crockery.These shiny object companies play on the pain-points that all investors feel in the process of trying to find and analyze deals, vet partners and vendors, and scale.In reality each of these companies has some useful function to it, but beware of the claim of any company to make a deal and automatic thing.Good luck out there!

Use the lookup function above. 

@Conte Cuttino You are thinking of your choice from a financial / landlord perspective, when I would suggest you think about it from a functional / tenant perspective. 

For me it functions as a task list, and a goal tracking/clarifying tool.

Tracks payments, has functionality to track expenses, tenants can request maintenance, and it's free.

When any California region is under a Regional Stay Home Order, no hotel or lodging entity in California can accept or honor out of state reservations for non-essential travel, unless the reservation is for at least the minimum time period required for quarantine and the persons identified in the reservation will quarantine in the hotel or lodging entity until after that time period has expired.Additionally, hotels and lodging entities in a county under a Regional Stay Home Order cannot accept or honor in-state reservations for non-essential travel.Hotels or other commercial and residential buildings may offer lodging for essential functions and travel including COVID-19 mitigation and containment measures, treatment measures, accommodation for essential workers, or housing solutions, including measures to protect homeless populations.

I have a can of "faux smoke" that checks if the detector itself is functioning correctly.And, thank goodness I do that! 

The Electrition stated that the riser technically does not have to be replaced because it is still functional, and there are no "kinks" that prevent it from working...yet...; however, the winter storms and ridiculously strong high winds we have here cause me to worry that the damage will eventually get worse.He said that if he does fix it, he would have to replace the riser since its out of code, and would also have to replace the 2 meters that are also out of code and placed way too high.
