At a very base level, make sure the property is up to health and safety codes for your location.

@Reesey Ann - To this point, you might want to invest in some security measures to ensure this does not happen again.

A lot of other markets 20 years from now could be ghost towns with little demand.But on the flipside, that safety/security comes with lessor immediate returns, as is a normal balance with investments (more risk traditionally equals more short term gain potential). 

The homeowner measured  WRONG .   

Don't worry about losing.That is likely not the only reason you are losing.We use this language for our clients, "Buyers agree to limit inspection repair requests to major structural, mechanical, plumbing, environmental, and safety issues."

A few things you could consider:House Rules: Make sure you have clear, firm house rules for your STR guests regarding noise levels, shared spaces, and respecting the privacy of your LTR tenants.Noise-cancelling measures: You could invest in things like soundproofing the walls or adding landscaping (like thick bushes) along the privacy fence to further dampen any noise between units.Separate Access: If possible, ensure that the STR and LTR tenants have separate entrances or parking areas.

A built in safety net if you will.THIS is great advice.

Anyone who is against predators should start from the very top, like Boeing Corp. who makes $*tty planes that keep falling off the skies lately, so CEO can earn tens of millions in bonuses for cutting the costs of production and delivering planes to airlines sooner than the engineers can properly test them for safety issues.
