@Mayer M. I have a spreadsheet I created for clients. Would you like a copy of it? I can share it with you if you want.

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to use my VA loan to purchase a condo/house with an assumable mortgage. I am searching in San Diego and Orange County areas. Does anyone have any recommendations for a real estate agent that has experience with VA Loans (specifically- assumable VA loans)? I am also looking for a VA lender to see what I generally prequalify for.

Thanks!

Heather,
New headline for your STR: "Awesome place for hearing impaired individuals"
That said, IMO every guest would complain, give you low ratings, etc.  It seems that this is literally a ticking time bomb with a known nuisance.   Have you considered LTR or maybe MTR (with explanations to the tenants)?
My 2 cents,
Mike

Is it a firing range that the public can use? If so, market the STR to shooting enthusiasts and hunters. Maybe set up a bow and arrow target in the backyard.

If you hate living here due to the neighbor, you think you will have a thriving STR with excellent reviews?

I have 2 STRs in Pt Loma.  As you may know it is in the regular flight path.  The break in talking due to plane noise the locals refer to as the Pt Loma pause.  

We clearly indicate in our ads on the OTAs (airBnB, Vrbo, etc are OTAs) that there is plane noise.  So far the only bad review we have gotten due to it is from a guest who asked the PM company how bad it was and they indicated not that bad.  Guest considered it horrendous.  If someone asked me how bad it is, I would indicate different people have different levels of tolerance but the plane noise is loud enough to interrupt conversations.  

My fear with a shooting range is that it likely is much more persistent than plane noise and that you may have a low occupancy.  

Good luck

I would say it probably happens more often than not especially if housewife or househusband is doing that managing. And around here they always are.
