*make sure that your name is on all the business accounts that you use and get written permission from the other members to use the funds. 

Great point, that it's worth considering allowing pets, but I wanted to call out a point with the stats you mentioned.The 15% of properties that allow pets are likely getting greater occupancy due to their permissiveness, so the 53% of travelers with pets are not necessarily bringing their pet against house rules.

I deleted the Edge browser cookies and data, tried a different browser, and tried 3 different pc's and still the same issue.When I am able tolog in I am able to download some of my books and tools and then some of themgive me a "Couldn't download - no permission"...all randomly.

The improvements need to be legally permissible.

The big issue here is that the legality of the receipt of out-of state referral fees is entirely permissable if you are licensed in Florida and your license is active with the DBPR and if the Principal is fully aware of the arrangement to pay you a fee this is the important part.

if you want to, you could just say the application fee is non-refundable regardless of whether or not they are approved or denied - or just put that on the form they sign to give you permission to run their credit/background checks.If you are this worried about upsetting applicants, though, I worry about you.  

Some questions.1) How does F&G go about getting permission to even negotiate on your behalf?

You should ask the housing community board about the STR permissions.

If there's somebody there, call the sheriff and try to ascertain who they are, if they have a lease, or permission to be there.

For those following a STR rental arbitrage airbnb strategy (or homeaway or vrbo), in which you're airbnb-ing places that you've rented from someone else (with the owner's / landlord's permission, of course): do you report the income on Schedule C or Schedule E when filing your taxes?
