Crawlspace & attic inspection (vapor barrier, vent screens, bathroom exhaust, leaks)14.

Again for examples we only have single vanity sinks in each bathroom, they had us marked down as 2 sinks, that decreased the value by $2K, they had us marked down as a whirlpool tub in the main bathroom which hasn't worked since we moved in, he removed that for $2.5K, then we have 2 fireplaces both gas but one is exhaust vented out the side of the house without a chimney which took another $1K off the value. 

I’m glad Airbnb sided with you in the end, but it’s exhausting how often hosts have to fight for fairness.

Interesting setup — I’ve come across a few lease arbitrage/STR hybrids, but this one stands out because of the scale and the way you're structuring it around investor capital rather than an operator-led guarantee.You're right to highlight the operator risk.

Redfin Agents charge low commission and do more to market a property than an average listing agent.

Your umbrella policy sits on top of these individual policies and extends coverage once their liability limits are exhausted.

I see it as my only option is to issue another refund despite these issues being a City item more than an issue with out specific STR unit. 

So if it is not visible due to a large "evacuation" by an individual, it is either something in the pipes (kid put a toy car in the toilet to see if it flushes) or perhaps a wasp nest at the roof exhaust blocking air from allowing the pressure to release and let the waste flow freely down through the pipes, etc.

We always apply the rent towards the oldest balance.Eviction should ALWAY be the last step after you have exhausted all other means of collection.

The risk is less - since one unit being vacant is less than an entire house being vacant.
