I have texts and emails saying that he was supposedly following through with his work but he would never back it up with visual proof and just word of mouth.I am looking to see how to recoup my money to pay someone else to finish the work rather than just take a huge financial loss by selling off the property for what I paid for it and losing out on the rehab funds I had put into this project.

It seems like the only differences with the 2023 reappraisal are that a visual inspection of the outside of the property may occur, and that there's a new website that provides more resources/transparency regarding the process (which I would think is a good thing). 

Potential guests scrolling through Airbnb listings are more likely to click on a visually appealing listing.

They often even visualize it or act as if it has already happened.2.

When it is a high priced property we'll enforce a percentage rather than a small nominal fee as it must be a deterrant.

I understand others have mentioned that the background checks could be a deterrent, but with the rental being a room IN my house, it's too risky for me to not require it.

@Gordon CuffeGreat visual.

You can visually see all of the available units in the greater Temple area.

Do you have many other assets, large equity in this acquisition (the mortgage itself is a form of protection, a deterrent as there is little to collect in case of trouble) or cash flow? 

Cages are a good deterrent but sometimes that doesn't stop a thief.
