The original post mentioned Passaic County - but rent control will vary per municipality. 

Conde Nast Traveler recently announced their 'Top 10 Trips everyone in the US should add to their bucket list' and it features some impressive vacation regions and activities:- Hot Air Ballooning, New Mexico- Bluegrass Trail, Virginia- Visiting Point Dume Malibu, California- Horseback Riding, Wyoming- Airboat tour Everglades, Florida- Winter expedition cruise, Alaska- Spiral Jetty, Utah- Camping In Acadia National Park, Maine/Rhode Island/Massachusetts - Trekking the Bayou, Louisiana - Wine country, Willamette Valley & Napa Valley Oregon/California 

Taxes, insurance, pest control, utilities, software, etc comes out to around $13k per year each for my 2 bedroom cabins.Also unplanned capital expenses will add up.  

If you wish to buy rentals using your retirement funds you simply need a self-directed IRA (or Checkbook IRA if you wish to have more control). 

Assuming you as the landlord are responsible for pest control, get the flea issue treated. 3.

While some property management companies may prefer to control the listing for operational convenience, it’s crucial that you, as the owner, retain ownership to safeguard your reviews, booking history, and overall control of the property.

Assuming you are not subject to rent control, file the Failure to Pay Rent form and start eviction proceedings.

My personal soapbox statement - Airbnb is an abusive spouse that slowly people are waking up to realize they are in a controling abusive relationship and they start to develop an escape plan (more platforms/direct website) so they are no longer relying on Airbnb.

The MTR was to get around the SFH becoming a 2 unit and under rent control with an LTR.

You can have control and build a business, and learn hands on.
