Lease should also state that the tenant be in compliant with HOA rules and be provided that document as well to have on hand of the HOA bylaws, rules and regulations, so that if they do have an HOA violation, they be charged that fee and correct the violation [when it's their fault].

Hi @Mathew FullerFort Collins has historically been a challenging market for house hacking due to the stringent YOU+2 occupancy regulations.

This website would have appropriate links to information on all devices.Security - External camera(s), especially at the entrance, that records and retains video (cloud) for an extended period.

If you’re serious about a STR you should start researching markets, understanding local regulations that may apply and then looking at properties and running the numbers.

Just to 'let it out' I find him hateful and contemptuous of anyone who disagrees with him (small park owners, government officials, State regulators and of course any journalist who would dare attempt to report any news regarding MHP ownership.

I don't like Hartford for a few reasons- rules and regulations being placed are not in favor of landlords, that coupled with high property tax is what turns me off. 

At the appropriate point you should fly into town and start interviewing contractors. 

Vetting and screening vendors, ensuring your vendors are licensed and insured, maintain all necessary permits and licenses, maintaining appropriate insurance,  requiring vendors to list the deed holder as additional insured, execute contracts with indemnification clauses, being an active owner or have a PM who is actively checking on your properties to ensure there are no premises liability issues or property conditions that could lead to claims.

Does anyone know of short term rental rules/regulations in Birmingham, Montgomery, Millbrook?
