I've already contacted the county planner and was told I'm not able to convert this garage to an ADU because of setback requirements.

It seems like every city, county, and state has its own rules, permits, and tax requirements for short-term rentals, and I’m finding it overwhelming to navigate all the different layers of compliance.For example, some places require business licenses, transient occupancy tax permits, or even special zoning approvals.

To make real money in this business requires busting ***.

LTR tenants are required to have the home professionally cleaned. 

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

This method is a little riskier and requires more work from the Property Manager. 

Instead of seeing this as an opportunity, people like you get offended, and their egos are hurt, so to defend it they will instead of accepting actual data, try to manufacture and manipulate the narrative to construct a realm where they could still be right regardless of where or not it is right.

you can get financing witha  LLC but the lender will require a personal guarantee on the loan.

They do, however, have up to 60 days to return a security deposit after a tenant moves out.If an eviction is necessary for nonpayment, landlords are required to send a seven-day written notice of the payment due.

What type of transaction fees should I be looking to pay and is there a down payment required?
