Every time I questioned my CPA about whether or not Trustees can rip my family off when I pass away he gave this speech stating that being a Trustee was not a fun job (whatever that meant).

I always ask about rent rolls and if any tenants are behind, but verifying is a different matter...What was meant by "there's never been a better time to go cold turkey on people."

didnt read everything others have said. but run back to your w-2 jobs as soon as possible. like call them today and ask for  them to take you  back maybe even say please. then pull  heloc on your properties and go buy more rental. you can buy them with out a w-2 unless you pay cash. dont want to be a cook for 16 this is a great time to switch jobs and pretty much every one is willing to pay you $20 an hour as long as you negotiate there is no competition in the job market right now. so best time to switch at great entry point. your cash flow seems great on  the other places get a few more then quite your day job if you want. and if you meant you want to be an agent run away. the only career that is probably currently saturated is real estate agent every one became an agent last year

Many cities/counties are fluid in their outlook on the STR market.Hope this helps!

Being gutted and framed out already meant he was going to save a ton of lumber + demo costs.

@Pat MullerI’m sorry if I wasn’t clear.I meant, the only way prices would have any downward pressure to prevent them from being more expensive in the future would be higher interest rates.

@Michael Dumler I meant to say that I am under contract.

When I read your headline I assumed you meant a repair escrow. 

Seems like all my planning meant absolutely nothing.

It's not meant to be treated as some holy text.
