@Linda Weygant Yes agreeing with @Montse C. here that this first needs to be discussed by the governing bodies and most likely will get tackled or at least in part tackled as it makes no sense.

One day several weeks after close, they sent me an "invoice" via email with no body, just an attachment with a jumble of line items - It included one of the two items they were getting a quote for me on (new flooring), some but not all of the items they were supposed to fix as part of the contract (with prices even though they were paying), and a few other items I was not familiar with. 

Not having a payment gives you patience to select good tenants and opportunity during the tough times when others are freaking out from vacancy and racing to offer better incentives to put a body in their place.

Plus these companies are subject to a lot of regulatory scrutiny (SEC, SOX).This Tardus strategy truly makes me cringe.

The minimum "initial" lease term in Atlanta is 2 or 3 months, so they don't qualify as STRs, and thus don't have the same regulatory issues.

- Legal and Regulatory Concerns: Are there any local laws or regulations in Fredericksburg, Virginia, that I should be aware of regarding pets in rental properties?

But there's no body of case law indicating that to be a concern.

You'll see your reviews in the main body (both yours as a guest and as a host).

Hi all!I am kind of new to real estate investing as I got lucky the first two times but now I am looking to invest quite a bit more money and I am slightly terrified.  I would love to have a support of a group who kno...

I love researching good companies with good growth prospects and a long horizon to allow for compounding of value, much like finding a good property in a good area with good long term demographics in a friendly regulatory environment etc to allow for capital appreciation.
