I'm likely considering replacing the burners than to replace the stove.But I just wanted to post here to pose 2 questions to the community:* to see how widespread this problem is for landlords, as I can't possibly be the only one.

A great deal of your cash throw off is subsumed into HOA fees potentially and these fees can change without your permission - additionally special assessments can be levied that can destroy any profit you have and you have no power to stop it - trying to sell a townhome / SFH or a condo with an unexpected special assessment on it or a large improvement project in the community that is projected to hike up the fees next year is challenging.Investing well necessitates your ability to pivot and retain flexibility to minimize your risk and leverage your asset or liquidate it when you need to - an HOA is not your best route.The lease restrictions in FL are so widespread because the state needs to provide economic stability to it’s residents because we have the most miles of coastline and therefore vacationers than any other state- if every residence could be rented at will it would obviously reduce the value of the property and precipitate all of the negative consequences of that.Hope that helps!

Ditto for tax returns claiming the Real Estate Professional status which are consistently audited due to widespread abuse of this loophole.

True... no active termites, but the carnage was pretty widespread.

After COVID hit last year, my employer made it known that employees are not expected back on site for at least another year, and there is widespread expectation that noone will be required back on site after that; really more of a personal preference on whether you'd WANT to go back to the office.

Turns out it's likely a dead rodent in the attic, droppings were pretty widespread.

@Philip GanzHow widespread do you see a decrease in values?

It used to be look for where the investment money is going, look for where the jobs are but now with remote working becoming more widespread it has altered to reflect this shift and is more evenly balanced between the location of jobs and the location of talent - as in - the talent that a company wants to attract will live in a desirable location  - one that has culture, amenities, good restaurants, galleries, cafe's, festivals etc.

Now the government is stepping in and using bank fees (not taxpayer money) to make sure a bunch of tech startups can pay their employees this week and stay in business (and to prevent more widespread panic and other banks to collapse), which makes a lot of sense IMO. 

Appears to be a wide spread problem customer service from Stessa is cooperative they are just unable to fix.
