I get being annoyed by the constant adding of rules and regulations from the site, it bothers me as well, but frankly, anyone who wasn't already meeting these guidelines with their messaging shouldn't be hosting anyway.

Are there general rules that apply about this, or is this a lawyer question?

Posting cut and paste responses to every post is against the rules of the forums I believe and not helping anyone.

As I am building this plan, is there a rule of thumb I can use for future value based on NOI?

Does anyone know if there is a general grandfather rule with STRs?

@Jill Hutsonthree reasons why apartments don't rent: Condition, Price, and Marketing, and a fourth can be the leasing agent, although I would tend to lump that into marketing.If the house is in good shape, and you're on all the platforms marketing it, then it's a function of price.There has been an oversupply of new inventory coming on line in many markets, and that's why rents have dropped in a lot of the metros.Unfortunately, it appears you have a pricing issue and you may have to start reducing the price, or throwing in some type of  concessionGood luckGino

Every state is different with days to post notices, and when you can start your eviction proceedings.The key is to charge it, enforce it, and make sure you follow the rules for everyone.

Don't believe the hype and misinformation out there.This is the fourth deal we've closed this year.1.

For example, the 2% rule about how rent should be compared to the house value - in Germany the rent is always far less than 1% of the house value.

Here are the four things I order  1- BPO (150.00)2- home inspection (350.00)3- pre-lim (225.00 maybe free)4- appraisal. (500.00) That 1225 tells me everything I need to know and I’ll kick the deal at each stage if the numbers don’t perform.
