Everyone is trying to do it on the cheap.I am trying to start well thought-out Properties, that attract people, that can get repeats and referrals, that are a legitimate vacation destination, that are stunning, Etc.Yes I mostly use second hand.

Equity in your deal is too valuable to hand over for labor.

La Quinta, on the other hand has few if any regulations city wide, but all the HOAs usually severely restrict STRs and those HOA rules can change even month to month. 

From what I gathered, they have one good property manager thats swamped with inquires, no staff and is doing it herself (doesn't return calls) and contractors are a handful but booked.

I can count on one hand the number of units we have rented over the years that have been ready the same day as a move-out. 

Additionally, you will be required to show two years of tax returns and have cash on hand in order to qualify.

Have a handful of dryers left.

Investor-friendliness and having a positive, low stress OOS experience go hand-in-hand. 3.

I am new to wholesaling, and looking to for some hands on experience.

However, if you feel like you do have some extra time on your hands, you are handy yourself and/or you have some good connections and team members that can do the work for you, doing the BRRRR is a good way to go.
