The back yard has toys all over the place- and just clutter throughout.

We also really enjoyed all of the water toys: kayak, stand up paddleboard, inflatable island, etc.What are the details you've loved or hated in an STR?

Two hours of time and less than I’d spend on a new toy I don’t need.

Toying with the idea of tax liens.

People that see you may have equity, and start snooping into what's holding what etc.I've also toyed with this.

The rule of thumb is going to be comparable sales and time on market, if average houses are selling for $X and a full rehab is selling for $Y then you need to be able to determine what kind of rehab is going to get you closest to $Y with spending the least amount of money.

There's some furniture which will have to be taken to a dump due to the dog, a large piano and rooms full of just "stuff" (pictures, dishes, clothes, toys, etc).When I first bought the place, I removed a storm window to get in the place and left the front door unlocked.

My wife has the 3G Iphone, and while I do not have anything really negative to say about it, it does come off as more of a toy than a solid business tool.

They know who their market is - well paid employees who have to have the latest and neatest toy and rarely keep them longer than 5 years.

I am toying with the idea of using credit cards to fund the purchase of some solid cash flow properties.
