Assume you have time to learn and you should put small amounts in while you are testing your due diligence skills.3.

And while all of these questions may not pertain to your immediate scenario I would highly suggest to STILL ask them because these are test questions. 

The credit for inspiring this post goes to Rod Khleif.So often one of the more important tasks when acquiring a property or doing due diligence is the stress test.

I tried using the background checks a year ago but found their support to be sub par - on the unit I tested it with I suspect I lost about 8-10 applicants in the Zillow Blackhole, ended up having to switch back to paper applications.  

A STR is a real estate investment with a more intensive operating management than a 12 month lease.

If you intend to do something more intensive like replacing cabinets and countertops, obviously that's a lot more to bite off.I do agree that kitchens and living spaces are a big deal in terms of appeal - and since you host large groups, it's quite likely they'll do a good bit of cooking.

It's important for you to test all, to determine what works best for you. 5.

The state will charge another 50-100 to take the 3-4 hour test.

That is in comparison with the 2% rule (brandon turner calls it the 2% test) (can also be called the 1% test or the 0.5% test) But the main point is that the rules of thumb don't work here in Provo unless you can hustle and find a great deal off the market to someone who is very motivated to sell and you can buy something that is very below what the market is offering.
