Anyone had a similar situation? 

But the likelihood of success with that depends on the specific street.

I was just reading Mark's book "The Tax & Legal Playbook" this morning and it specifically had a "critical warning" (page 31&32 in Chapter 3).

If they’re late a third time, you have a strong case for eviction for habitual non-payment—without risking the tenant showing up at the 11th hour with the money.For your specific circumstances, with only a partial month behind, I would guess there is a decent chance they can come even on rent and it would be a waste of your time.

-Changes to lease break situations.

Have the tenants take and send pictures of any maintenance items and video chat with the repair person as needed.If you ever get in a situation where you just feel like you can't do it or don't want to do it, you can always put a PM in place at any time. 

Specifically I am trying to figure out the best vehicle through which to conduct our REI.

I am just starting out with a STR and found that VRBO is not very specific if they are collecting the tax and paying it to the State as a marketplace facilitator or am I responsible for this tax collection and payment ?

@Dean HalpinI’m not an attorney and can’t offer legal advice, but this situation seems to have the potential for a lawsuit for unpaid wages.

I’d simply ask in what situations where the broker and the brokers firm did nothing to facilitate the sale do you think you should get paid a commission?
