In some states, such as mine, you can do one assignment per year without a real estate license otherwise, you will be fined $25K per transaction. 2.

I concur with @John Underwood the right property with right management (right self-management) will do fine. 

@Bruce Woodruff were gonna get a slew of people saying it will be fine, people will rebuild and all will be better than ever.

Please always read the fine print for anyone reading this thats starting starting off. 

They can and will fine you heavily and order you to remove it completely if you don't go to them first and ask for an inspection and do what they want to make it legal and permitted.Don't try to "get away with it".Be a businessman and fix the problem the right way.

Email is fine

You'll be fine to get there.

But I am sure they talked about fines and penalties. 

On the surface that sounds fine except with VRBO I did not where I have access to their credit card to charge them directly but rather I could submit an extra charge and it's up to the guest if they pay or not.

I have units without washer and dryer and they rent fine but I found myself showing to people who really wanted the washer dryer way too often so I do put that in the ad and review it again on talking to them.
