When they apply is when you should confirm their identity.  

When an appraiser is adjusting a comp to match the subject property, he or she will use an adjustment based on the difference in square footage.

@James Boreno You’ll likely owe taxes, but don’t forget to account for your adjusted cost basis, which factors in the original purchase price, depreciation over 10 years, and any capital improvements.

It will be an identical home to the one I’m currently building, and I expect to need no more than $160K in financing.I’m not looking to overextend myself by taking on too much debt, but I want to make sure I’m approaching this in the right way. 

I get having a driver's license to verify identity, but recording your head turning like a mug shot is a little much. 

Sharing understandings and rules on guests, cleanliness, chores, pets, drinking, drugs, boundaries, house identity, conflict resolution, communication platforms, etc.

They are a platform that has no identity and doesn't really know what they are doing or who they are serving.

Therefore, your request for a Type 2 STR exceeded the maximum 12.5% blockface density and the only way that staff can approve this request is for the Board of Adjustment (BOA) to grant a Special Exception for the rental.Based on this information your STR permit has been cancelled.

My suggestion would be to cap your utilities at a certain amount and have Tenants pay anything over that amount.That will help you manage your expenses, and also allow Tenants to gage their usage each month, and make adjustments if they don't want to go over the allotted amount.As far as collection, provide the bill showing any overages and just have them pay for it along with their rent. 

Economic pressures forcing landlords to adjust rental prices to attract tenants.For renters, this means more flexibility and savings, especially in historically competitive areas.
