I appreciate all the difference of opinions on this thread and again kudos for all the constructive criticism and how professionally everyone is receiving it!

It's investors who don't care who think any kind of criticism is trolling who give STRs a bad reputation--and they have a terrible reputation in many areas of the world.

You had a non-critical problem, you got ahead of it, you chose when to make the repair instead of circumstances forcing you to make it at once.I self-manage a small portfolio of C-class long-term rentals in SFR and small multifamily in and around Pittsburgh, PA.

It is also critical that you know how to maintain the corporate formalities and to faithfully execute them.
