Or third party companies that do?

On another note, on a small scale, Best Buy third party installers are hitting people for permit feels on point of delivery.

The single-family property doesn’t have any existing ductwork, so we’re planning to install a multi-zone mini split system (4 zones).We’ve received three quotes so far, ranging from $18K to $26K from HVAC companies.

Great points, Jeff — and you’re right to highlight that the expense ratios are unusually efficient for a coastal STR.A couple of clarifications on the numbers:The current owner self-manages, which keeps cleaning and maintenance costs lower than a third-party STR manager would typically charge.Some of the repairs and CapEx were front-loaded in prior years (new flooring, appliances, and paint), so last year’s P&L reflects more of a stabilized-operations scenario.The utilities figure is accurate — it’s higher due to being master-metered for the property — but the other OPEX categories are slightly understated if you were to underwrite this as a fully managed, third-party operation.If I modeled it using a professional management assumption plus normalized reserves, the operating ratio trends closer to 48–50%, which aligns with what you mentioned for coastal STR multifamily.I appreciate you calling that out — it’s a great reminder of how much variance there can be between owner-operated and institutional-style expense reporting, especially in hybrid STR assets like this.Here's the owner's profit and loss statement for the exacts of the 2024 year.

The 2nd has to be the winning bidder in order to protect the 2nd's interest or if there is a third, the third has to be the successful bidder for the 2nd to collect on it's loan.Your suggested sequence is true for instance, in Sheriff's sales in Arizona, but is not true in Deed of Trust sales in Arizona.

Hey Mei,If every other unit in the complex already has a washer and dryer, I’d go ahead and install one.

I live and invest in the area, and while I don’t personally have any units third-party managed on the Nebraska side, I’ve heard great things about Kouri Management.I hope you are able to make it work with a new manager, but if you keep having issues please reach out. 

I've also found it incredibly helpful to involve third-party vendors to assess any damage.

My wife spent hours on the phone with Buildium customer service and kept getting bounced around to different people, but eventually ended up on the phone with the 3rd party company Buildium uses to run their backgrounds.

In our case, what we usually do is ask them to send us a formal signed letter explaining the specific reason why they need to pay their rent in two installments (usually because of how they get paid at work).We also ask for their permission and the contact number of their employer to verify the information.
