Plenty of appraisers have little to no experience in STRs as this asset class (if one wants to even call it that) is relatively new in the REI space, and thus, the method suggested above is probably not that likely to succeed. 

s from thr prior week.. if this happened from almost doing the transaction for ten grand then either I got a pass somehow or the whole thing IS public knowledge and not worth anything other than  learning stuff in thr group and lives that you can  learn in other groups and similar live experiences..with a new car in your pocket to drive you around to meet up! 

What is your experience or opinion? 

Although you don't have a lot of experience, you could look for a fix and flip or BRRRR investor, partner with them on a purchase and split the profits. 

In my experience, they may give you a price upfront, but they don't expect payment until they are done. 

For example, effective drainage is essential to avoiding future problems and maintenance expenses.

Well, you effectively have a job that is worth closer to $300K/yr.

Similar to if you hired a company to replace a roof-you don't have a copy of the bill for all of the shingles and nails, but you have a copy of their bill that has those effectively built in.

I am seeking a partner to collaborate with on completing a property flip in the Riverside or Orange County area.I am specifically interested in working with an individual who has experience with more than 10 successful property flips.Kindly inform me as I am prepared to initiate the process.

This effectively means that I don't need a primary residence at least for the next few years and my living expenses are practically 0.
