Lots of absolute nightmares come out of sub to when folks get into title but dont have the money to pay the loan off or the ability to refi.

I know lots of installers don't do it, and I personally prefer the unimpeded look, but anything installed outside of the requirements of the material is probably going to be limited, i.e. the insurance company is not going to pay you because the material was not installed according to flooring requirements. 

The law does NOT apply to landlords:With less then 5 rental unitsThat live in one unit of a duplex and rent out the other unitThat rent out rooms in the home they occupySo, landlords can no longer state in their rental ads, "Section 8 not accepted".The reverse is also true, "Section 8 only", cannot be used.We've always recommended screening S8 tenants the same way as cash-paying tenants.Landlords waiving application fees and/or security deposits only for S8 prospects may also be violating Fair Housing.

I have been to a few of them personally its really something and the folks that own them are under the radar and make MILLIONS.

When you pay off a mortgage you pay the interest for all the years you didn't own the house?!?

I could see folks doing new builds if they have 1031 money they need to place somewhere and they are putting 30%+ down however.Way too much sunshine in this thread about the current market conditions here in Huntsville and Madison right now. 

Quote from @Olga Daisel: Folks,I am a mother of 2 small kids, 3 and 5.

You must have the Business tax license & pay all the fees required.  

I was thinking that there would be more folks nearer to you Alan, maybe Bloomington.

I am just starting out with a STR and found that VRBO is not very specific if they are collecting the tax and paying it to the State as a marketplace facilitator or am I responsible for this tax collection and payment ?
