And actually, you dead-wrong in your assumption, my STR-Arbitrage tenants ARE insured.

Decided we'd pull the trigger and buy the home, we spent about 1 month and half weeks renovating (40k in total).We listed July 2nd and got our first booking July 3rd here our final numbers for July Gross Revenue - 6.45k ( including cleaning fees )Florida Power & Light - $200Water Bill - $400 ( high because we did a lot of pressure washing and watering dead sections of grass )Cleanings - $249 ( I decided to take on the cleanings after 2nd rental )A/C malfunction - $749 ( during renovations we didn't change the filter enough and to much dust got inside )Mortgage - $3,600 ( 9.35% interest + taxes and insurance with a 3yr pre penalty fee ) Net income - $1252Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated wether it be upgrades, photo selection, finance or you just hate it over all let me know!

All I know is it will be over my dead body if anyone ever holds any of the software licenses over my head again - Our business will control that aspect 100% so nothing like this happens again - I'd hope this could serve as a lesson to others out there - DO NOT LET AN ACCOUNTANT OR BOOKKEEPER SELL YOU ANY ACCOUNTING OR BOOKS SOFTWARE ACCESS OUT  OF THEIR WHOLESALE ACCOUNTS as I had no idea QB and after doing a bit of reading XERO has the same thought process that you are just screwed if someone decides to hold you hostage.Yes I could have started over but who really wants to spend hours trying to get everything to sync correctly again - I had multiple things tied together via automation.

Craigslist seems dead though I have them on there.

The cherry was actually in bad shape according to an arborist but because it looked ok with green leaves, we had no way to know it was dead short of being a specialist, so they said we weren't negligent and the tenant's insurance would have covered his car had he had it insured (we credited him a month's rent).

I won't let anyone go 12/24-12/27 for example because it leaves a dead zone in front of it. 

The control module was sealed in a way I could not open it to get the dead roaches out and repair the circuit.Repair person came and tried to sell me a new dishwasher to include a $50 a month maintenance program to cover any repair.
