The most recent short-term rental regulation they were recently crafting is an example of going towards unfriendly.

Historically, a medieval European craftsman first served an apprenticeship under a single master, and then passed a test and received papers from his craft guild that named him a journeyman, someone allowed to travel and work under a variety of masters to better learn his craft.

I started to feel taken advantage of, like I can't be at home even on my days off, I can't relax, I can't cook in the kitchen or sit down in the living room to watch tv or craft (my days off are during the week) because they are right next door and I might be making to much noise for her work zoom meetings or something.

Things will obviously settle down once we complete a few more projects, but in general, unless you are buying a newer home or one that has been kept up meticulously and everything about it is otherwise perfect, you can expect to spend a good amount of money the first few years.With that said, I think a lot of this is more a lifestyle decision and will also be determined by how long you plan to stay in that home.

-Screen your tenants meticulously using a solid screening process, just like you would market tenants.

I am meticulous with my comps and ARV projections, so I trust my numbers, but I still find myself doubting if I should be growing this fast. 

I screen meticulously and have great tenants. 

I screen meticulously including a home visit as the last step of the screening process (note - do exactly the same process for market and Section 8 tenants on screening or you will run afoul of Fair Housing).Some counties have created an insurance program of sorts for landords if tenants trash a place that requires repairs beyond the deposit but there's nothing countrywide.However, there are absolutely remedies for landlords with Section 8 tenants. 

Unfortunately we have a society now where the media throws gasoline on every fire and seeks to craft its own narrative.

The hardest part is finding the homeowner but I’ve crafted my online advertising where I wake up and have leads waiting for me to call.
