My suggestion is to continue being active on BP, get out to some networking events and seminars and also educate yourself through books and podcasts. 

Many of them won't be convinced by facts, such as how much revenue STR's facilitate in and around Asheville, and will continue to push debunked sentiments about affordable housing, but the threat of lawsuits might make them play nicer.

Either way, i always decide to buy additional properties as opposed to developing what i have, because I’ll continue having that and can do what i please in the future. 

Turn off water to each unit and see if the water meter continues to run. 

However, I didn't continue this since I couldn't find any deals that would allow me to do a full cash-out refinance.  

Stay away from the condos as they are going to continue to have higher HOA's and insurances going forward in Florida.

I see so many landlords lowing money through rookie mistakes, yet they continue looking for more doors.

Love the style/look

Tenant took photos and videos but nothing detailed - a single shot or two of a room from the entrance, so is saying fridge was fine, normal wear etc Next - If we are being nice and deducting ‘portions’ of the charges and tenant continues to grind away, or this goes to court, do the compromise and smaller amounts offered negate the full amounts that could have been charged

If a tenant is constantly paying late and there seems to be a clear sign of struggle in finances, wouldn't I be doing a dis-service by offering the tenant to renew their lease and continue the vicious cycle?
