It started back in September when she said she was in the hospital, so I let it slide then she said she was getting “help” which ended up being emergency rent from the county that dragged in to October.

A fun fact about me… I’m an Emergency Room nurse.

STRs are just now beginning to be seen as an emerging asset class.

We're sitting on some emergency savings as well.

The cash could be used to increase your emergency fund and fund this project.

Some smaller markets that may emerge include Boise, Chattanooga, and Huntsville. 

Now your company can survive beyond 5 years because it has working capital for emergencies.

Called property management back and asked them never to forward a call like that to me again unless it was a serious emergency.

Oh and the fasted way... invest in an emerging market, and find a place that needs work so you can force appreciation.

It's worked out great, but I did have excellent timing starting in 2008.More difficult market right now as a seller's market has emerged in the last year or so.
