Hey Beck, I am glad you reached out with your concerns here on the communityThe reality of our market is exactly what you are experiencing.

Arlington managed to defend its STR regulations in court by carefully gathering concrete data and framing its regulations around public safety concerns.

Your agent is NOT doing this for you and is only concerned about making their commission, no matter how many cookies they send you or white their teeth are.Cash flow - you are not guaranteed cash flow.

However, ensure that your decision does not violate any anti-discrimination laws or local ordinances.Make sure that:The records are accurate and pertain to the applicant.You have established written criteria for tenant screening, which should include reasons for denial such as prior evictions, judgments, or debt-related issues.

No fear here so no need for concern.  

No one was very concerned.

Not only does this pertain to structural wood but also to wood flooring.

I’m actually more concerned, and my original reference (which I did NOT, unfortunately make clear) was to short to medium term price declines in any market, such as 2008 - 2012, etc.  

It sounds like the city ignored a lot of complaints about structural concerns from tenants for years, which is concerning.

These days I'm more concerned about fentanyl "It is 20 to 40 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine" they are usually little blue pills and you might see small squares of burnt aluminum foil.
