I have an STR and previously did not allow pets on our property out of fear that they would destroy it. 

Quote from @Adebola Adetunji: Hi folks,I was on a routine walk  and noticed a dumbster placed in front of a house.

However, I don’t yet have the funds for a down payment on another house, and I’m trying to figure out the best option for where to live while I rent the apartment.Do you have any recommendations for managing this transition or tips on finding a temporary place to stay?

Based on a quick answer from Perplexity it seems like there would be no issue with you buying the home and collecting passive income, but you may not be allowed to manage it yourself since that is considered active work.

The lease starts once you close on the property, collect rent, security deposit, etc. 

The Registered Agent will record the documents on your behalf so only their name and information appear on the documents.

@Alex Evans is spot on.

Hey man, congrats on the first deal! 

If the seller isn't responsive, then do like the idea of telling the tenant you tried, and see if they can get some free legal assistance from a tenant resource center.It is a good reminder as closing approaches to ask the seller to keep tenants updated on the pending sale and when ownership is scheduled to change.
