I did some researches and it turns out there are lots of restrictions/resistances on STR not only in California but other states too (and bills are getting passed left and right ...)As STR (AirBnb, VRBO) are getting more restrictions, does anyone start thinking to switch (or already switched) the strategy to LTR?

Sorry, could not resist. :)

I am finding by being active and licensed as of a month ago (gasp)  that in Arkansas it is hard because of the laws realtors must abide that to work in this way completely ethically is near impossible...hence my resistance in this last year.

I learned that is has the least resistance to entry.

The hardest part of any endeavor for me as I imagine is for most people is resistance.

Hi Experts,I am filing an insurance claim on a roof on one of my rentals in central texas. it is a 15 year old 3-tab shingle roof with a bunch of wind and hail damage.the insurance will pay for the roofing job, but the roofer mentioned to me that he can put architectural shingles on the roof instead of 3-tab for just 500$ extra which the insurance will obviously not cover.from some research , I see that architectural shingles have a longer life span and more wind resistant which will perhaps save me money in the long run, however , I am not sure it's worth it as roofs are replaced due to hail damage pretty frequently in this area (once in 12-15 years) which is well within the 3-tab shingle life span.I'd love to hear some advice from some people with experience in the field, as well as any roofers or contractors that know a thing or two about roofing and hail damage in central Texas.thanks! 

I wasn’t something that is scratch resistant and either water proof or resistant.

Until inflation (other than housing) picks up there will be resistance to raising rents in many (not all) markets.

Use inexpensive nylon (most durable and stain resistant) or olefin cut or loop style carpet.
