I've emailed and called both Eric Anderson and Sean Harper multiple times today and no response.

I am local and own multiple rentals in Huntington/Ashland area. 

Hotel, motel, and bed and breakfast uses are permitted in multiple zoning districts around the city.

Matthew,It is really important to vet multiple operators for this asset type.

The city approved rental license inspector essentially just tested to make sure there was access to hot water, access to heat, no unsafe conditions like exposed electric wiring, CO/smoke detectors present/functional, fire extinguishers present/not expired, etc.

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I have multiple properties in the Tri-Cities.

sounds ridiculous but a situation ive encountered multiple times. ask yourself how much extra work you want in your life, offsite landlords get put out of business regularly, I've seen it over and over again. consider your options and learn everything but diving in.

My point is sewer, fire sprinkler tests, parking lot, sidewalks, etc.  

But, as I've tried to point out multiple times on similar forums, where is the accountability to the advocates and bureaucrats when the poor and downtrodden's situation only gets worse due to these policies?
