My realtor told me that there's been happenings of neighbors turning in people who are doing STR's and getting investigated by authorities, resulting in fines & such.  

Actually have people contacting me before I advertise a unit available.

I am that guy in the comments that calls these people out.

I live in a small town in eastern Arizona, about 7000 people, and we have a pretty serious shortage of rental properties.

A mass shooting occurred tonight on the street next to the street where the property is located, leaving nine people shot and one dead.

All the people I know who bought there did it for lifestyle.

My 2 cents is prices are crazy inflated right now, but believe it or not I think it will continue because of continued demand pressure for the area from people fleeing higher cost of living areas and moving there, with access to 87/17.

If you have any questions feel free to send me a message and I'd be more than happy to help you get connected with some of these other essential people as well. 

Would love to connect with people who can give me advice on what to look for or where to study for starting out.

I wouldn't accuse people that write listings to be knowledgeable in insurance.
