Hopefully it’s an out of town STR and you can show airline tickets or gasoline purchased in town.

During COVID I made a lot of money putting used furniture in half way updated houses 30 mins from downtown. 

If the loan amounts dip below generally a $3,000 min compensation point, points go up to meet any specfic lender/broker's minimum comp, the more you close with a lender then better your on-going realtionship will reflect in lower points generally.

Today, 3 percent of flights have been cancelled by the major airlines, and that ratchets up to 10 percent next week. 

If you see cut & paste repeat posts, absolutely flag them so they can be reviewed as that is a forum violation.

Guess I never paid attention, I just know on some more expensive items I just figure to go in the store (i.e. new xmas tree this year was $600) so worth the few mins extra time driving versus having it delivered to my door to get the 10% discount, but I never calculated if it was actually 10% just paid once they rung it in with discount. 

Airbnb is now making things more uniform, in the past, some hosts paid different types of fees (for example, a separate guest fee or a single host fee).

Quote from @Min Zhang: Hi Bill, I’d also recommend checking out some local real estate meetups and networking events.

Home prices have shot up so much over the past few years, but rents have not kept up. 

Quite honestly, I have RSVPd to a few in person meet outs and have gotten too intimidated to making the 40+ min drive after work to meet strangers on the internet lol.
