I recommended the owner engage legal counsel and consider a BK filing.Well, turns out the owner had been dumping used motor oil and transmission fluid in the rear of the property to “save” the cost of proper disposition.  

Hey everyone — first time posting here and hoping to tap into some real-world investor experience.I’m a designer/renovator based in Englewood who recently completed a restoration of a 1928 bungalow.

Businesses are the other way around, they are designed for cash flow.

Happy to chat more over DMs if you’re interested.In general, the difference between co-hosting and full-time property management comes down to how involved you’d like to be as the owner.Co-hosting is a good fit if you want to stay engaged but offload certain tasks like guest messaging or calendar management.Property management is better if you’d prefer to be completely hands-off, with the manager handling everything including guest communications, maintenance, cleaning, turnovers, etc.However, there are two big benefits, in my opinion, to co-hosting over property management.

Virtual interviews, reference checks, and small initial engagements, like market analyses, help verify responsiveness and expertise before full commitment.For geographic diversification, markets with strong economic drivers and investor-friendly environments can facilitate team building.

These are brand-new properties developed specifically for investors so they’re often tenant-ready, professionally managed, and designed for long-term durability and low maintenance.The advantage is you get the benefits of new construction (warranty, modern systems, high rents) without having to manage the build process yourself.

During the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese banks introduced 50-year and even 100-year mortgages — sometimes called “multi-generational mortgages” — that were designed to make extremely high-priced real estate in cities like Tokyo more attainable.

It's in an HOA so there are limitations to the exterior.Initial ideas I had:- update fans to modern design- update wall outlets to usb near beds/kitchen etc.- paint patch walls through outAll suggestions are welcome.

@James Potter If you are considering an STR property, you'll have similar rules to Kauai, in that it has to be in a designated area.

If the house is really well designed, then you can add in more.
