But why should I accommodate a tenant over my own child?

More properties were originally built as multi family to accommodate the larger population in the cities out here so there's no need to retro-fit a building to make it multi family.Baltimore, Philly, New York and Boston.  

(Stuff like that).But S8 tenants we've found are looking for long term living accommodation.

The FSMA General Requisition forms and Adjudicator Requisition forms have been redone to accommodate these reporting requirements, and will be distributed directly to District Chairs.

So just google attorneys that do RE closings there will be some.. then just point blank ask them if they will accommodate a double close.. they either will gladly or will tell you no.. if they say no then you need to find a transactional funding source..

Apart from the need to allow 'pitbulls' the demand for 'smoke friendly' accommodation is very high on craigslist around here.

According to This article :"Last year, the tax collected on accommodations rented for less than six months brought in just over $49.5 million." and the city is on pace to increase that by another 10-12% this yearThe short-term rental tax, or "bed tax" is not peanuts, and is not something that the city is going to miss out on collecting -- I do believe that AirBNB collects and pays on your behalf. 

The only pro to launching a STR in SB county that comes to mind is that currently, I think we're reasonably safe from STRs being banned completely here, due to the fact that there aren't really enough hotels here to accommodate the 3 million annual visitors that come to the JT National Park.

The demand for SFH may be enough to accommodate the increased supply.

I recently expanded a bathroom and dropped the ceilings to accommodate new plumbing.
