Kind of like the 1k deposit on a Air bnb where U can buy the same type of insurance for 50 to 70 bucks one time. 

My brother is retired Air Force working Civil Service in Livorno and my son just completed his assignment at Catania, Sicily.I followed my brothers investment path there and also research some on my own with realtors, Geometras, and Immobiliaries.      

There is truly only 4 "lanes" in Real Estate Investing: - Deal Generators: this is your tried and true wholesalers, listing agents, those who specialize in finding a "deal" out of thin air. - Deal Builders: your flippers, value-add masters.

Anything much higher usually has a catch (block, collections, condition, etc.).Neighborhoods: Near Eastside, Martindale-Brightwood, Twin Aire can all work but are very block-by-block.

Fire ratings, STC ratings, sprinkler systems, air barrier testing, and costlier mechanical systems—much of it driven by regulatory changes—are all at all-time highs.

If so - could do 10 5-6 hour days each - we would try to get at least 1-2 stays completed at 1-2 nights each with air bnb bookings- if the seller is OK closing on the 19th but wants to stay a bit longer - could we do a 7 night stay for them after closing if they book direct with us?
