Most of them now have some sister entity established so they can collect premiums and then file bankruptcy and leave when events occur.

And unlike HOAs most are not going to flat out ban STRs, but rather try to collect taxes/fees from those that want to run them.

;-)I have owned and rented SFH since I was in College (I bought my first home, and then lived in it while collecting rent to pay the mortgage and make cash from my roomies.).

This company is a scam (now doing business as Poplar Homes) doing the absolute bare minimum to keep collecting fees. 

After 4+ years, my loan and the principal is paid back and I collect ATM distributions for another 3+ years. 

If they still don't budge, then you have to follow through the eviction.For the life of me, I don't understand why so many areas in the country make evictions so onerous on the landlord and the collections of unpaid rent so impossible for landlords.

Owning only 1 & being realitivly cash poor is risky.As for door knocking as a way to collect rent.
