I've made an appeal to the regulatory department in Virginia that oversees agent/broker licensing (DPOR), but they will only defer to the decision of the broker.Any suggestions on how to move forward here?

see above from my state regulator I got tired of is this legal or not I shot over a marketing piece from a local wholesaler and this is the response I got. 

Real estate investors are attracted to medium-term rentals to gain the benefits of extra cash flow versus long-term rentals while avoiding regulatory risks, high turnover, and intensive management of short-term rentals.While many investors are now turning to medium-term rentals to build their portfolios, the lending world has unfortunately been a little slow to keep up.

Any body purchased Cody Sperber or any other self proclaimed gurus "system"?

It increases focus, releases toxins that build up in the body, helps blood pressure...... among other things : )I also do stretching as well which keeps the muscles pliable and from tightening up.When I run miles and miles or do the elliptical for an hour it clears your brain from all the other stuff.

This doesn't feel right to charge commission on a regulatory requirement.  

Also, from a legal perspective, you can check out this blog I wrote last year after the Wilmington appeals case was lost: "Short Term Rental Restrictions in North Carolina"The biggest news that's happened since then is that there is a bill that has been introduced to completely ban regulatory restrictions by local governments on STRs, however, it hasn't been added to the house vote yet, so it remains to be seen.. 

Market Volatility: Out-of-state markets may be subject to different economic cycles and market trends than your local area, making it important to understand and adapt to these fluctuations.Increased Risk: Investing out of state carries additional risks, such as unforeseen market changes, regional economic downturns, and natural disasters, which can be more challenging to manage from a distance.Legal and Regulatory Differences: Real estate laws and regulations vary from state to state.

The answers to this would determine my next steps.Yes not being able to verify the info makes it difficult.I did just talk to one attorney and they did suggest the best thing is to start the eviction process - asking for just possession, and not a money judgement (get back rent owed and cost of filing), would make it easier - although he's not quite sure how the court would handle the tenant not being mentally capable (just found out from the fiance today that - supposedly - he's out of the coma but is "sleep-awake" and has no clue what's going on, and is paralyzed on the right side of his body (again, can't confirm anything).So the fiance has (confirmed) already moved out with the kids and is living with an ex-BF (one of the fathers of her kids) and no, she is not on the lease (another lesson learned). 

All I know is it will be over my dead body if anyone ever holds any of the software licenses over my head again - Our business will control that aspect 100% so nothing like this happens again - I'd hope this could serve as a lesson to others out there - DO NOT LET AN ACCOUNTANT OR BOOKKEEPER SELL YOU ANY ACCOUNTING OR BOOKS SOFTWARE ACCESS OUT  OF THEIR WHOLESALE ACCOUNTS as I had no idea QB and after doing a bit of reading XERO has the same thought process that you are just screwed if someone decides to hold you hostage.Yes I could have started over but who really wants to spend hours trying to get everything to sync correctly again - I had multiple things tied together via automation.
