Came in strong with a 70k cash offer with an escalation clause for up to 76k all within 12 hrs of listing. 2 days later I learn my offer lost out and that they had 29 offers.Wow, I thought.

All opinions are welcomed?

Quote from @Alex Cardaniuc: I can't read the entire post and answer all your questions, but I can give some quick advice.1.

I have a lease ending at the end of the month and have had my pick of 4 tenants all begging to rent from me.

There are so many ways you can do this, in my personal opinion, many ways work, it's all about what works for you.

Hello all!

All the best y'all! 

I manage both long-term rentals (LTRs) and STRs, currently operating seven STRs, all of which are profitable.

This will allow you to compare policies, although, from my experience, most companies offer very similar coverage.As for your 2nd question, 2 things I wish I had learned early on:- Explain the benefits of renter's insurance to all tenants and prospective tenants.

Especially in todays' day and age with all the chaos going on in the world.It's important to have a vivid vision and use that keep yourself going when the going gets tough!
