Most hosts I know - yes I realize that is a small sample - do just what I do. 1) provide frequent communication on the property, 2) charge a reasonable cleaning fee, and 3) only ask that the windows be closed, dishwasher run, and kitchen garbage taken out so the place doesn’t smell for the next guests before the cleaner can get there.

This is completely allowed as long as you disclose it to both companies and your regulatory bodies.

Thanks Brandon,Eventually everyone will wake up and smell the roses.Hopefully we can all build substantial portfolios before all the mum and dad investors jump on board lolThanks and have a great day.

The smell made my eyes water.

Are you saying you have a huge land portfolio but no body to invest in helping create multi-family housing on your land?

I've SOLD it Before I BOUGHT it.Not worth arguing over, "A Rose by any other name would smell as Sweet" Shakespeare

I'm talking about "nonverbal communication"what your facial expressions and body language say can be opposed to what year word center saying.If you watch the show Colombo with Peter Falk, you'll see the actor use his face to convey certain emotions.If you make your eyes look big, you make yourself look naïve and innocent, which is nonthreatening.If you have a scrunchy face or confused look, you usually have the seller feel like they need to go into more detail.

I don't expect problems here.Plumbing--Also don't expect problems here.Elevator--No experience, so will get this checked.Landscape/irrigation/parking ingress/egress issuesGlass and exterior facadesAll interior surfaces and fixturesSecurity issuesInternet/phone access Examine all suites, common areas, and service areas, all I can see, smell, touch, etc.Anything else on physical due diligence?

I would say that you definitely don't want to leave a trail of dead bodies behind you, but on the flip side you don't want to be one of the dead bodies left behind the seller's wake either.

No more bad air from the ducts, no oil smell.
