.: In a prior post from about 2 months ago, Kerry Malarkey and Nathan Gesner mentioned a small landlord is exempt from FHA requirements requiring the acceptance of emotional support & assistance animals if one of the following is true:"Owner-occupied buildings Properties with four units or fewer that are owned and lived in by the ownerSingle-family homes Homes that are sold or rented without a broker by the owner, as long as the owner doesn't own more than three at once" (Quote from Nathan's reply))https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1219359-pitbu...Given this, if a landlord does qualify for the exemption, what exactly does this mean? 

@Deirdre Lizio see a lot of competiting PMCs start with a pledge of doing it better than "what's out there".Always interesting to revisit them 3-5 years later - after they've experienced the reality of challenging tenants AND owners.Look no further than Evernest: they started out with flat fee management at $99/month and promises of better & fairer service & pricing.Now they're at 10%, capped at $199/month - wonder what changed?

Challenges?

I'm not saying you're doing this, but people will often make the mistake of looking into the highest priced rental unit and making that the "market rate" but it's often not a true comparable to the subject.

Challenges?

I’d love to hear from others who have navigated similar challenges or have insights on improving profitability in the short-term rental space.

That is the true value of participating in things like this that are a bit more involved. 

Happy to be a resource as I know all of this is challenging.

In real estate I stick to tried and true methods for 28 years now.

to be clear - lots of other issues, lots of other challenges, and BRRRR is difficult right now with interest rates so high.
