They're trying to fix a problem that doesn't really exist.Just like practically all laws promoted as protecting the tenants, they end up hurting them.

@Steven DeMarco Yep, lots of people promoting STRs as a way to easy wealth - and most have something to sell!

Promote Open Communication Create a Safe Space: Great leaders encourage open dialogue, where team members feel comfortable sharing ideas, concerns, and feedback without fear of judgment.

You could not pay me to use the service and BP should not promote them.

So for example, if you know your goal is to move away from NYC/LI possibly because of a potential future promotion in 5 years and you also want a lot of cashflow/appreciation before you move... then it may not work for you. 

This is purely for research purposes to be able to create something truly impactful (I am not promoting or selling anything).

And you know I'm also against HELOCs being promoted to people who don't have savings or excess cash flow!

GENERALLY speaking, I find that people are either good at real estate investing, or they're good at self promotion, but rarely are they good at both. 

In many cases the forum inquiries or forum promotions are for construction or as many would call “fix & flip” loans.
