I'm pricing out the operating side of a small independent, roughly 30 rooms, before I go any further on the numbers. Someone told me the property management system for a place tha…
Everything is new here so forgive the level of this. I looked at two of these. One said $2,500 minimum and asked nothing about my income. The other had a form asking me to certify…
A common surprise once a backyard unit is finished: a standard homeowners policy typically will not cover a rented second dwelling on the same lot. Most carriers require restructu…
