I'm excited to finally joining the forums after listening to the podcasts for the last few weeks.

@Aaron: I sent you a message couple weeks ago, but no response at all.

I have been doing Airbnb solely for 2 1/2 years an a SFH and even with internet connected lock and camera, maid service, auto price online service; I still have to spend 3 to 4 hours a week at the house checking condition, replacing supplies, and doing minor repairs.  

A was considering changing out window units on a six plex in Oklahoma last summer and the quote I received was about $2900 per unit for single zone.

I work in the I.T. field were daily, weekly communication is the key to working in a remote environment.

I just ordered my first batch of mailers (about 1500) from a mailhouse this week - hoping to tell a similar story myself some day.

One of my take-aways from Vijai's wonderful and educational walk-through a couple of weeks ago was to be wary of foundation issues. 

If you need a referral for an incredible lender to pull equity out, let me know - I have just the guy (he's done about 4 of them in the past week in South Bay).

I didn’t do a Move in Condition Report and wanted to know if I should do some sort of report on the condition of the house now, six months into the two year lease.

The bank as been listed as the owner for a couple of years now on some while others where listed as the owner within the last six months to a year but not listed for sale.
