I try to incentivise them as much as possible by offering the following: 1) One full year of rent in advance (typically at a slightly discounted price from their advertisement); 2) I am responsible for any maintenance items excluding major mechanical issues (electric and hvac), which means if there is any kind of backup or plumbing problem, it's on my dime, but it also means that they are going to have a renter that is not calling them to fix minor things; 3) I release them from any liability related to the Airbnb; 4) I install a keypad lock on the front door and agree to leave it when I vacate; 5) After the one year lease we go month-to-month until March when they can get back on the seasonal leasing schedule (which I inform them of), and then I sign a year lease and pay as a regular tenant.

I have in the past added sheetrock over the top of the paneling to make the walls wider so I can use regular doors. 

Use the regular type that break their necks.  

I will say most times the buyer is in regular clothes and most do not expect any different.

For example, if you only catered to investors, I don't see a problem in taking your investor experience and writing an article geared towards regular home buyers if that's a bigger audience for the publication you're writing for.

If it was regular maintenance, same as replacing the roof, then the landlord should pay for it.

What I have done....1 regular mopping with cleaner and bleach2 brush with acid wash3mop with the “microbe” ( I forget exactly what it is called) wash made for that.Use grout sealer when you’re done.

I assume this is after you have millions invested in regular real estate, the stock market, maybe some notes and regular reits/mlps. 

A quick question here, when I am building a new bathroom with a shower do I need to apply the redgard material or just the purple or green moisture resistant Sheetrock is enough? 

Closing costs would be $600If you do the regular 30yr refinance going up to a 70% loan to value, the rate would be $3.875% with a loan amount of $77K the principal and interest payment would be $363.
