There are some exceptions to that as I mentioned that have been done in the past, but again that would be through an escrow account, etc.

Most of the horror stories I know of are either because (1) it was during the pandemic and tenants were taking advantage of it or (2) an exception was made on the vetting process when it shouldn't have been overlooked. 

Maybe it's best for me to test things this fall and winter and offer, as @Chris Watson suggests, a 7 day min with no mandatory check in/out days (except Saturdays) and see what people generally prefer...Thanks everyone for all the feedback!

Multiple offers are now the rare exception, not the norm.

Agreed on all except the LI. 

I’ve noticed, like you said, that everyone seems to do things a little differently when it comes to house hacking, and analyzing deals is no exception.

Hi Stetson,I own a STR in Flathead County that performs exceptionally well.  

That typically isn't allowed for a non RE pro (with exceptions/limitations).

I would still be a customer today except for the Florida Texting Law.

With the possible exception of lands that might border the Las Vegas metro area it would take decades to build infrastructure and jobs in these areas to attract dwellers there.
