Hey @Mark Miles, we have had an influx of bookings as well but it is evenly split across VRBO and AirBNB.It isn't totally unusual but this has been a bit different.We are usually 1/2 booked for the May-Oct season before Thanksgiving.

You pay more for the easy button

@Mark Soreco Yeah, there’s definitely a middle ground between full-service PM and full DIY, and digital models can work — with the right expectations.Lower-cost platforms typically handle marketing, screening, leasing, and rent collection through a portal.

Starting with a VA loan is one of the strongest paths I see vets use to scale, especially if the goal is eventually 3–4 units.I’m in the lending + deal-analysis space and work with investors running the VA → Conventional → VA cycle, so here are the big levers that make it smooth:• Refi timing: Most people hit the 12–18 month mark once rents season and DTI is cleaned up.• Entitlement: Straightforward as long as the conventional loan closes cleanly and rent docs are dialed in.• Challenges: Rushing seasoning, appraisal surprises, and trying to juggle too much at once.

I just tried to DM you his info but seems I can't so if you want to know more reach out to me directly.Thanks,Mark

One example I came across recently was a lakefront home on Chickamauga Lake in Harrison that’s clearly marked as in the county rather than incorporated.

Hello Mark & Andrew - I frequently attend the Fresno Deal Seekers meetup and would recommend giving it a try. 

Same as A except conduct cost seg study (assume $2k) in year 1 and apply all of that accelerated deprecation (assume $65k for this example) to the principal balance of the loan to accelerate the amortization schedule.How would these compare at the 7 year, 10 year, and 15 year marks?

If the tenants have a bunch of small holes and marks on the wall, you can touch up paint and charge it back. 

This purchase will push me over the 7 doors mark so want to make sure I'm disciplined and organized as I grow.
