@Ben M., I'm not sure if you're working with a STR friendly realtor in the area. If you are searching on your own, I suggest reaching out to @January Johnson and @Napoleon DeCiutiis!

Looking at doing Airbnb for a nice condo with a view in Panama City, Florida. Would these usually get booked all year round or can it end up being vacant on some months? Trying to see if this makes sense

Completion of my rehab was delayed 4 weeks due to ONE CABINET being delayed. I'm here to see if anyone has suggestions in case this happens to me again...

Home Depot? Lowes? At least one of them will cut to size in store.
Curtains?

I am near the finish line on a rehab for a sfh in Houston, Texas and the contractor is having issues getting blinds with the correct measurements for the home and this is causing delays. Some of the windows have blinds already but we still need a few. Is anyone else having this issue in Houston?

Hi @Ben M.!
Speaking on behalf of contractors. For us, if you are able to get us access to the unit a few weeks prior to closing to come up with a SOW and estimate, then get on the same page with you regarding your vision, then we would be able to get started most times on the first day. Be sure you don't start the reno planning just before or after closing. That is going to delay EVERYTHING. Also be sure to know what you'd like to do (reference the home inspection and what types of finishes the neighborhood is using to attract tenants) so that you don't find yourself requesting changes to the scope after it started. This can cause delays and will also affect your budget. I'd be happy to jump on a call or zoom to talk about your vision and what you'd like to do. No obligations here.
Thanks Chris! The contractors have already started. They started a little over a week but they seem to be moving along well now. I will keep you in mind for future projects!

You would have them quote the job weeks in advance, sign the contract two or three weeks before closing, and expect them to start within a few days after closing.
That’s very helpful thank you Allan
