Working on getting a new septic permit so we can add onto it, and increase the bedroom count to 4.

Thinking long term— but are permits for STR/MTR hard to come by?

They get the advice, but they can't be wrong, so they buy a property in an HOA that doesn't allow STR and in a town that has groundswells against it and requires permitting.

I would go back to that company as you are doing and reconcile this, bring plans, drawings, the license number and permit number with you to make sure you show you are doing it all within the city regs too so they can get you back online.

Hi Stephen,Sorry for your troubles but it seems like the provider came through in the end which is nice to see.And promising to cover rent for the delays caused shows character also.Being a turnkey provider myself since 2014, I can attest to that unfortunately many things sometimes aren't in our control.Especially when it comes to the citiy, contractors and pulling permits, etc...Our traditional promise is that the property will take 90 days to rehab and tenant.Have we gone over 90 days?
