If I change things (new sleeper sofa, new pictures on walls, different bedroom furniture) I change my pictures

I used a HELOC to cover the down payment, appraisal gap, and furniture, allowing me to enter the STR market without depleting cash reserves.

We drafted a short-term “use agreement” giving her a couple of months to find a new spot for her outdoor furniture and tools.

These laws have been tested in court and upheld because they do not discriminate against protected classes.Familial status in Fair Housing pertains to the presence of children (pregnant women, people with children, adoptive or foster parents).

Hey @Mike Nelson, never assume anything about STR rules and regs.Here is the STR rules for Oak Park - https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/oakparkil/latest/oakpa...I would call the city and make sure it is legal for a specific property.Now regarding the famous person angle, sure it can add value to the property or as a STR, but for STR use, I would think you would need it to be in original condition with a lot of the furniture and knick-knacks that were owned by the famous person along with a bunch of photos etc featuring the famous person.If you buy a place that has been totally redone but was owned by someone famous but has no features or things that were theirs, then I don't see it being a draw. 

By the time I retire, I want to have enough rental properties to have financial independence to enjoy my hobbies and enjoy spending time with my family and watch my children grow up.

Just not worth it plus it's probably going to just get worse.I would not renew and re rent with it not being furnished assuming the furniture is trashed.

They say that their children are constantly running around and hearing the constant little feet is irritating.Is there anything I can do?
