The first floor of this private home offers a bright renovated kitchen with a large island centrally located between a cozy sitting room, the living room with 55" TV, a dining area, and the spacious back porch.

Quote from @Brenden Evans: A large percentage of investors (maybe the majority) never really learn to manage their properties well.

there's also the activity against RealPage.i sometimes joke that i hope my portfolio gets large enough that these rules target me.so... thoughts? 

Maybe if you put a large down payment on the property and you find a low HOA fee building but there is also the potential risk of large special assessments if the HOA isn't well managed.

It's a large financial investment; hence I'm performing my due diligence....something every savvy investor would do before making a deal.  

Again this largely depends on what type of STR you have.

That's acceptable as long as you have 70' of space with 7' ceilings.Minimum window size: The window must be large enough for an adult to egress, and it must be reachable.

This completely disincentivizes a large segment of lien investors on vacant properties. 

This really hurts the local population as it's derails any sort of capital formation.

This will depend largely on your level of experience and comfort level with the possibility of expenses for the things like the termites and the sewer pipe.
