That is good perspective. 

@John Warren thank you for the calm perspective.

Interestingly, our local politics is one of the draws for STR investors in this region.Hope this helps provide a local perspective!

The way I've seen this work from a cost savings perspective is to hire an overseas bookkeeper to do the busy work, but also have someone higher level available to answer questions and to record the more complicated transactions.

I can give you a tenants perspective.

I know that the landscape has changed quite a lot and I wonder if you have any perspective on how to find good syndications opportunities and which ones to avoid.

Find a good qualified realtor that knows the area well that is willing to not only work with you, but teach some of the business from their perspective.

I am open to different perspectives too, if someone has had a positive experience with smokers, I am all ears!

However, each situation is unique, and it might be worth discussing the matter further with the tenant to understand their perspective and find a fair resolution. 

This simple chart shows the PE multiple difference/spread between SP500 and US Equity REITs, typically REITs more expensive than stocks but now at lowest level/price since GFC-2009, so from a relative value perspective of where to invest a dollar, this is a great time to invest in real estate, thinking long term.
