I'm sure your wife excels at her job, and I've found that all title companies are not created equal.

Hey Ming, excellent thread.

Excellent thread @Jay Hinrichs !

I do have excellent credit and can get the lowest interest rates...  

. : excellent add to the checklist, I never considered taxes, thanks so much!

We are looking to do the same thing for a flat in Athens which we'll turn into another artist's studio.Instead of the 2% rule, I have a 3% rule when looking for properties like this: it covers management and cleaning fees and utilities.Some key elements to doing well on Air BnB:* Beautiful, well-lit photos* Excellent location convenient to transport* Well written ad with thorough description of local attractionsWhat can make up for a lack in any of the above:* A quirky design/unique lodging experience, at a low price NB: Air BnB type services have been drawing the ire of hotel lobbyists to local governments, and many renters don't pay taxes on the $ earned.

This seems like an excellent analogy to me.

Both excellent reads.Good LuckPaul

= MAO.Also, excellent breakdown by Troy above.

Those that prove excellence, will have their license paid for, and opportunity for paid position will be available as soon as you have proven yourself as competent and reliable to the team.
