Liability becomes a greater concern when you add alcohol or other substances to the equation -- a common occurrence when dealing with short-term renters.The reality is that many short-term rental guests have never owned their own property and as such, there is a risk they may lack a sense of responsibility and respect for your vacation home.

No smoking, No Alcohol, No pets, They can set the rules. 

And 3 weeks later when the alcohol wears off, and a heart shaped box of candy appears with apologies--he's back in the saddle.So she wants to control things and have him taken off, you have a contract with him also, what if he wants her taken off and booted to the curb.Cowboy references because  I like @Nathan G.'

We have a robust operations, we manufacture raw materials ourselves, which needs to track % wastage and % produced, we also tracked miles and fuel usage, everytime we switch engines, it changes that data, just two if several dozens of components.

But they are super robust and don't have very many settings and shoot a wide angle.

It should be robust considering the amount of money you are spending and the trust factor you place in the TK company.

When the windy season (or rain, if we get any in a given year) arrives in autumn, I take it down; the tarp generally lasts 2-3 years before needing replacement.Anyway, I'd like to replace that with a robust permanent structure, which I'm envisioning as being a similar structure as the tarp thing; two corners attached to 2x4s in the eaves, the other two out in the yard attached to a 2x4 or 4x4 set of wood posts, fastened securely to the cement surface in the yard. 

Are you in favor or stopping the sale of alcohol, because some people become alcoholics?

I spent about six months researching the area and the options, making about 40 offers (some of which ended up going for 100k over list), and looking for a "deal;" the prices went high enough that I nearly threw in the towel, but my numbers, discussion with current owners, and observation of traffic and occupancy over that time seemed to still point to a robust STR market.

We use Buildium, and find it to be very robust and scalable.
