What you have a conversion of one unit from an LTR to an STR mid-2022.

I have that conversation every day with clients when making purchases. 

@Tanner MarseyI totally get it but a 20 min conversation once or twice a week is hardly shoving down ones throat.

So over the weekend I started answering my phone and as fast and willing they were to come out and give an estimate, when i told them I live in a multi unit, the conversation soon turned into " Oh, didnt know that, we will call you back......."

Write down the details from conversations.

However, I have had a 10 or 12 unit conversion freeze up because some lazy tenant left the laundry room door open in sub zero weather, so interior wall runs froze up too.

Also ask about the move-out condition of the property (if one that isn't where they currently live), and whether there was anything owed at move-out and what damage occurred.With smaller operations, I try to get a conversation going, where lots might be told without even asking.

I am loving it @Dave Meyer I like the conversational style that comes with a panel show.
