I would have gotten significantly more done if I was being held accountable daily or weekly.  

I do have customer service background working in high end restaurants in Orlando for 8 years (getting food shopped all the time and passing with 100%) and feel I would be an excellent asset to someones property in it becoming a successful STR.

According to the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act:Even if a landlord has a no pet policy in place, the law does not consider service animals as pets and therefore the service animal is exempt from such a restriction.Service animals are allowed anywhere a person would go, including food areas that would normally restrict an animal’s presence.Landlords cannot charge a pet deposit or pet fee for service animals, however the tenant is liable for any damage that the service animal may cause.Landlords can require written verification from the tenant’s health care provider that they are disabled but cannot ask for any specifics about the disability.Landlords can require written verification from the tenant’s health care provider that the service animal is needed.Landlords can request copies of the animal’s health records to prove the animal is in good health, parasite-free and immunized/vaccinated.Landlords can write warnings or even evict a tenant with a service animal if the animal is disturbing others, posing a threat to others or causing considerable damage to the property.In other words, you can ask for appropriate paperwork concerning the tenant’s need for the service animal and to verify the animal’s health. 

I am a bit of a pizza snob and when I am in a new place I look for a good spot and if its rated 4.7% with 5 star after 5 star review and I see a random 1 star review saying the food was terrible, do you think I let that discredit all of the raving reviews before and after it? 

It’s on my radar as a neighborhood I’m checking daily for new listings.

My STR and LTR's are all schedule E.Unless you are cooking them breakfast or offering daily cleaning with a turndown service you will be on a schedule E.

Prospecting, outreach, negotiation are things I do on a daily basis.

Looking to get into my first STR in the next few months out in the Knoxville/Oak Ridge/Gatlinburg area(s)....I understand getting average daily rates, occupany rates, mortgage, saving for maintenance/CapEx.

Remember... contracts are always negotiable, but you both have people to pay and food to put on the table.

Unfortunately, with our financial situation (we are essentially broke and need money like now for medicine, food, etc), hence us being so eager to sell, even for below market value… so turning it back into an AirBnB wouldn’t work for us.We wish this sale hadn’t fallen through.
