@Leland S.This is going to be very costly and the issue it is not resolving is vibratory noiseHaving built many building there is sound and vibration transmission - you can dampen the sound (again costly) but if it’s hardwood floors or a kid above it’s not going to stop the pounding / jumping .Is this a real issue brought by the tenant?

There's a bill in AR that hopefully will get passed which would stop local municipalities from enforcing regulation on STR.

But, in today's market, especially if you are not a builder already with your own teams, the cost to buy an existing property is often cheaper than constructing.But like Jaron noted, you have access to capital through some form of refi on inherited property, and that gives you options on how best to invest that money.

I have completely stopped using them and instead starting tiling everywhere.  

I used to host a meetup, I stopped because I got tired of going to my own meetups and telling people what a terrible market we were in lol.

Ironically, BP is now organizing content and CHARGING for access to that content, so they've gone full cycle. 

If you evict, how much money will it cost in legal fees, court costs, lost rent (because the tenant will probably stop paying), and vacancy while you prep and fill the vacancy?

All of this is doable, don't let the questions above stop you those are just things to consider which thousands of people have figured out and you can as well. 

We finally found our go-to contractor after falling out with our original, who underbid the project, become flakey and eventually stopped showing up.

The only real way to create a "warning" is to pursue them legally to get an arrest or to get a money judgment - both of which will show on a background check.Although, all the tenant rights advocates are pushing to STOP landlords from being able to consider criminal history in tenant screening:(
