STR's still offer value over hotels in cost per room and offer things like private pools.In back to back storms we had 14 out of 65 units damaged to the extent of taking them offline. 

This is causing a huge influx of people moving here for jobs.

There must be a cause for mold growth, and that cause is almost always moisture.Check there are no roof leaks or attic window leaks.

I had one particular vendor with high standards that would exaggerate anything he found.My rule of thumb: people can live how they want to live as long as they are not 1. damaging the property2. living in filth that attracts pests3. impacting the neighbors (e.g. odors, junk detracting from the neighborhood, etc)4. creating an unsafe situation (e.g. hoarding and rescue workers can't access the home)When I visit a property, I document any issues and talk to the tenant.

That causes the light switch to flip and they go back to screaming.

A tenant who fails to maintain a rental property could end up costing you more in property damage and court fees than the amount of rent they're paying you upfront. 

The issue is I need a little capital due to another renovation but I can’t cash out refi the lender cause my credit took a dip just below 660.

Should be at least 10%.3) What about tenant damages and nonperformance?

Not using this space to its fullest potential may cause sellers to skip over your ad.

In fact, people are more likely to sell and move elsewhere if they are overwhelmed with the damages.
