Probably best to look elsewhere accordingly, as the availability of properly zoned STRs is quite limited.   

Just buy it with a Quit Claim deed.

Hi Dan,I've worked with Easy St quite a bit.

I've been living and investing in Reno, NV for quite a few years now, but grew up in CA. 

And I don't feel like I'm "missing out" on anything, because (a) I'm still close to BK and NYC by car or public transport and (b) there are plenty of things to do and places to eat and drink across the river. 

Investing is hard, a grind, and you can't quit your full-time job in two months.

I'm now looking to house hack in Dallas or the surrounding areas (likely Arlington) but am a bit stuck on how to run the numbers.When calculating cash flow on the my duplex in Indiana I took into account PITI, vacancy reserves, maintenance and repairs reserves and utilities to get down to my net cash flow amount.When running the same calculations using 5% down on the house hack, I find myself quite a bit in the negative.

When I look at the records it looks quite random.

The job could have scaled up and he went forward without communicating with you which is a big no no and may be he should eat some of the costs due to the miscommunication.

For clients who look at doing laminate, it almost never makes sense since the labor costs they are quoted to install end up eating up the savings.
