@Steven Libman very cool.

Still super cool to see the area turn around.

HMM all due respect, not cool to the seller.

Furthermore, I know that there actually are really cool homes in the area, because I see them on Airbnb, seemingly killing it.

The market right now is cooling, and I'd say is on your side.

My first thought was ditching the unit and adding 4 mini splits with heat/cool.

You can use his/her name and address or set up a P.O box in your friends name (if they're cool with that) for your mail to go to.

A cool feature on VRBO has been the allowance of a video for each property. 

Cool thing with private money you can structure it like you want.

Your job as a merchant mariner sounds really interesting, and it's cool that you're interested in real estate investing when you're not working.Excited to see where your journey takes you!
