@David Lewis I've house-hacked both my duplexes in Beverly, MA just north of Boston and I definitely feel your pain.

Those are some pretty sharp looking "yurts".

But they are a pain in the butt to deal with.

@Phillip Austin feel your pain!

Hi, We have five garnishments on evicted tenants in KCMO that our Lawyer is chasing, with very limited success. Has anyone else dealt with this problem? I'm almost tempted to turn them over to a debt collection agency...

@Nick Rutkowski Thanks for sharing this very painful experience. 

For a more general philosophy on hospitality, especially if you are going into the higher end STR space I would recommend Four Seasons: The Story of a Business Philosophy by Isadore Sharp about the founding and development of the Four Seasons brand. 

It’s been a pain going there every day for the past 4 weeks and looking ahead to have to keep going there every day for the next 4 weeks.

This can create a subtle but effective pain point for the landlord—especially if they’re not excited about taking on those responsibilities.

I'm a licensed lender in Washington (and many other states), I invest as a "side hustle" and grew up in Seattle, so I feel your pain.
