Basically, they are a turnkey STR company. 

Most people are just not built for that.So, if you are not analytical, stick to the basics.

A few things to think about:• Two years is enough time to benefit from house hacking.If the rent from the other unit can meaningfully offset your housing costs, you’re basically reducing what you’d be paying in rent anyway — and building equity while you live there.• Bellingham’s prices are higher, but demand is steady.Vacancy is typically low, and smaller multifamily properties tend to hold value well.

I’m focused on minimizing further damage and making a clean, forward-looking decision.Can you provide a few basic details?

@Andrew Postell  The concept of creating value and using a refinance to recycle capital has existed for as long as real estate finance itself, even though it was recently rebranded as “BRRRR” and marketed as something new.

-if you purchase, rehab and refinance a property - basically a BRRRR - it's not going to cash flow in the short term. at all.  

I've basically been told that.

Some DIY providers like room42.io offer "audit insurance" - basically they'll send an engineer if you do get audited.For renovation work specifically, make sure whoever you use has detailed records of what was replaced.

I'd likely get rid of Pricelabs also & see about just using AirBNB "smart pricing" & some basic research with comps.

I am looking to do this concept in certain parts of Baltimore.
