Alterations that substantially improve the property to "like-new" condition may trigger reassessment.

Here in stodgy New England local STR restrictions are spreading like a virus from town to town… just at the very point where the STR gold rush is already yesterday’s news and some investors are starting to realize that 2020-2021 were market anomalies created by a global pandemic that altered how and where people traveled/stayed.

They're great motivators and they use sales and marketing tactics for tapping into the hope and fear people who desperately want to 'alter their lives.'

Tenant has altered the house without permission (including but not limited to removing all smoke alarms). 

You guys probably don't think about it this way but by contributing here you are saving lives by keeping people like me from making 30 and 15 years destructive and life-altering commitments.

And If the property can be rehabbed without a Major expense (Cesspool)  I would look into altering the ingress egress to allow greater ease of getting in and out of the property, and then rehab it and lease it out to a commercial tenant. 

Refinanced it again alter on at over $3m, used that extra cash to buy another big property -- rinse wash repeat.   

I would also find out if the husband changed the locks as that constitutes a lease violation for altering the property in addition to what Jon stated.

Its the alter-ego issue. 

Your wife has better instincts, as head trauma for a baby can be life-altering. 3.
