I’m a little concerned about off season rentals.

You may want to contact Elite directly and cut out the middleman.

Should they be concern?

My thought is to BRRRR it and refinance, and they get their cut of the equity (which I assume would be split 2:1:1).

My PM is key to my success.San Diego Condo: This is your biggest concern.

That is my concern too.

Given the details you provided, I personally might not want to settle this in mediation with this tenant however as I'd probably just want a judge to cut through the BS and tell them to pay up and get out at this point.

As others say, make it crystal clear in your listing that the "shells may cut a dog's paws, and we don't allow pets." 

This saves me a lot of communication time as I only need to respond to inquiries with cut and paste responses with the open house day/time and I only need to show the rental twice a week. 7.

It was a huge investment, but it cut the electricity cost by the full 2K per/mo all summer.
