During or before inspection contingency, it'll be beneficial to ask for the current tenant's information.

Hi Thomas, thank you so much for great information 

On another post, I am working on a property and a couple doors down, one of these types of companies is holding.

The drawings can go back and forth but the rater needs to be local to the property because in the end he will have to go verify what came out of the build and prepare a reconciliation showing the actual performance numbers post construction. 

@John Sokolofsky  Agree with the above post - good insurance is the key. 

I guess I'll make another post.

Or use an e-card like Linq which someone can scan and download all of your information.

Even without the pause I have had listings there and have had homeowners post signs all around the property that were listed stating "This is not an area for STRs, go away."

After the first property if you still enjoy REI, you will be better informed for long distance investing and how to hire a full team.
