No regrets...owning and operating STRs is like managing a sports team.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

We just closed our second deal in the past 30 days, and for me, my portfolio or success, would not have been possible without an amazing partner.The reason for my post is that I've learned that real estate, especially multifamily, is a team sport.

(Fun tip: Tenants in those buildings love to narc on each other for sport.)I agree with everyone that said build a fence - especially since it is your primary residence.You aren't going to win here.

Unless you are a professional athlete/movie star / influencer it’s hard for many to hear this but the world really doesn’t give a hoot about you.Having built hundreds of multimillion dollar homes and having worked on projects with two different professional sports teams owners - I would say less than 1% would use a land trust for anonymity and some of these people had 9 figures and several were billionaires.

This step ensures compliance with local regulations.From my experience, when I had an STR in Cleveland, I only did the regular rental registration, so make sure you complete both registrations to avoid any issues.Cleveland is a popular spot for STRs, especially for visitors coming for sporting events and medical purposes.
