I recently came across a company that had a IRONCLAD Audit Protection. 

Is there anything else I should do to protect myself?

acquire zoned and frequently active turn-key or licensable vacation rentals ranging from $200K-$2M on the Oregon Coast and beyond in the past year (30+ in the past 3) - so I wanted to share some insight that may help investors manage expectations for vacation rental investment as demand expectedly intensifies with the extension of the STR Tax Loophole.Here are my insights into the Oregon Coast STR market (from Brookings to Astoria and beyond) and looking forward two years through the end of the 100% bonus depreciation allowance:- The barrier to entry will continue to grow.

Hi @Stan TallmanHere are the most logical causesHydrostatic Pressure (Groundwater Seepage) - During or after heavy rain, water in the soil builds up pressure and forces its way up through weak points in the foundation.Slab Foundation Leak or Plumbing Issue - Even though you're on city sewer, it’s still possible for a drain or sewer line under the slab to be cracked or compromised.Improper Grading or Drainage - If water is pooling near the foundation and the grading isn't directing it away, it may seep under the slab.Improper Vapor Barrier or Slab Pour - If the vapor barrier under the slab was poorly installed—or skipped altogether—moisture will push upward over time.

I understand lower barrier of entry, but there's a reason why.

These markets typically offer strong rent-to-price ratios, lower barriers to entry, and solid property management infrastructure, especially for out-of-state investors.For reading material:“Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat” by David Greene - great if you're eventually looking to scale with BRRRR.

If your goal is to build a long-term rental portfolio, consider starting with a market that offers solid cash flow, low barriers to entry, and strong property management support.

For the risk you are taking on with the 50k investment, your return would need to be crazy to be worth it.I mentioned this the other day in a different post, but, house flipping is one of those professions that has no barriers of entry except the cash and the balls. 

It’s a growth market hiding in plain sight—with low land cost, high ROI, and fewer barriers to entry.

It's a continuous barrier of epoxy/enamel to the drain, which is connected to the tub shoe with a gasket between that stops water from ever getting under the epoxy/enamel.
