Always stick with the platform.

Also when using PayPal, use trusted friends & family, they can't reclaim it if they want to.

@Ariel Smith, I have some cleaners that I use on my furnished rentals. Reach out for more info.

How serious is the legislation against AirBnB/VRBO in La Jolla?

I go to IKEA for furniture and other stuff in the market place. 

I go to Target to pick up appliances.

I can get in/out of IKEA in about 1.5 hours, hoping to shorten it as my system gets better.

How do people find you on instagram? What other tags do you use to drive up search results?

Why dont you FHA loan a duplex/triplex? That'd be my goal if I had that much capital.

There are a bunch in SJ if that's a feasible place for you to live.

Why limit your funnel? I use them all. AirBnB, VRBO, TripAdvisor, Zillow.

The larger your funnel, the more people making inquiries, the higher your price can be.
