But at least nobody smokes three packs a day of pot, so the damage wouldn't be anywhere near as fast or as extensive.this is why I love living in CA, where the landlords will puff one with you vs try to evict haha. i would much rather have my tenant(s) smoking weed and chilling then drinking alcohol and being loud/breaking stuff.

Cash flow currently is complete and utter garbage, but I'll see what kind of value add we can do to the property.

Using someone elses vacancy rate is utter nonsense - it very much depends on your property, not even on your market.

She wants me to chill and just let her handle it.

Been to both and both are unbelievable. 4) Basecamp Pizza is always a solid chill thing to do too. 

I might be inclined to share a little secret here... if your STR is currently in a Covid Zone: consider trying this: - Convert all listings to a 1 month minimum, by the room- Add all appropriate features to suit this- Mark the price up to 2-3x the typical rent, including everything- Sit back knowing that at 50% occupancy your roughly breaking even- Watch as your life gets really, really simple... as you have to work less and less every day, allow your net to drop to about 50% for a while, knowing that you are reducing the risk of Covid spreading in your business, and knowing that you are creating a safe space for those people who were planning to travel, but just want to chill while humanity finds a cure for this thing. 

Something to note about her - she is much prettier, and much nicer than I...That said, Jason - if you can, on BiggerPockets none less, utter the words of juxtaposition of Zillo valuation to LP to reality, and be for even 1 second confused about anything at all, this serves as empirical evidence of your relative stupidity in the subject matter. 

Don't tell them about our markets, I don't want others coming in... too much competition"  Complete and utter BS.  

Even if you discourage or "chill" a potential tenant by saying "no pets" when they ask about a service animal, that could be actionable.  

I call utter BS on it.Sure it is possible.
