Rough start to our first STR

[Nathan Leland]

My wife and I finally made the leap and closed escrow on our first STR home last Friday at 2:03pm, the Oak Fire started 7 minutes later, and (it appears) that the house burned down 24 hours later...we never got the keys. It is too soon to know definitively but there is enough evidence to suggest the worst. Once we can get access will assess and come up with a plan.

In the meantime, I would love to hear from anyone that faced a similar situation. What silver linings were found, etc...

Best,

Nathan

As they say - you got lemons, go make some lemonade. Seriously, now you can rebuild exactly as you want to, add all the new cool features and fixtures. Really make this a desirable, one-of-a-kind STR!
