We have a local competitor that brags they don't charge a maintenance markup, yet we know:1) They charge owners $60/hour for their handyman2) How much do you think they're paying their handyman? 

“Passing Good Cause is not only a step toward tackling these systemic issues—it is the vital foundation to any meaningful action.”In a free market economy, how will those providing housing react to a law that forces them to house non-paying tenants for free? 

So if, for whatever reason, laws change and you can't rent it out on Airbnb, etc, it still cash flows if you need to rent it out to a traditional long-term tenant. 

Of course, with all things, the answers to all these matters will depend on the circumstances.California tends to have more laws on the books and requirements and restrictions that it can be a good idea to form a CA LLC for out of state property so that you as a CA resident are covered, and to try to have your contracts fall under the purview of CA courts.

The law allows you to charge for ALL cleaning, including trash removal.

Folks say use a local lender.

I'd check local STR FB groups and see if you have a local Real Estate Club.You can offer your services there, maybe for free in exchange for the experience.

You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise violating the law in an egregious manner.

But if this is a one-off, it's probably better to pay a local co-host who already has the local connections.Talk to @J.

I’m Meghan, and wanted to connect with locals in NH!
