Personally, I’ve found that one mid-stay refresh (45–60 days) works well without being intrusive.But some hosts swear by weekly service (especially for corporate clients).What’s your approach — and how do you structure the cost?

Quote from @Upneet Teji: Looking for recommendations for cost seg firms that do a virtual inspection for a fully engineered report, and that have a roster of CPAs and engineers.Great thread here https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1258422-cost-...with different perspectives on which cost seg (self-service, virtual, onsite) might be best for you and your property.  

Even if bought below market value, one major capital expense—like a roof or water service line—can erase all perceived equity.

You’re definitely looking in the right direction, but there are a few tripwires to be aware of.For the STR strategy to work this year, the property has to (1) be placed in service in 2025 (furnished, available and actually listed for rent), (2) qualify as a short-term rental for tax purposes (average stay under 7 days, or under 30 with substantial services), and (3) meet one of the material participation tests (for most W-2 folks that’s usually 100+ hours and no one else, including cleaners/PM, doing more than you). 

Hello,Is there any webiste or service provider which can be used to check the credit score of the buyer?

They don’t believe in good customer service. 

Should I offer to pay them for their consultation, or are these types of questions common as part of the PM vetting process and is a "courtesy service"?

The key issue is when the property was considered “placed in service.”
