Tighten thigs back up, re-state the rules and keep an eye on transgressors, then deal with them.Note - some of the other successful Forums that I participate in have their rules listed as Stickys at the beginning of every Sub-topic.

:P That helps back up our decision to sell the property.

I do have other towns in mind as a backup, but my first choice would be to continue investing in the town I already live in. 

And yes, I feel down, and low 7 behold, I survived, got back on, fell again, got back up, fell again, over and over getting 1 tiny % better each time. 

If it were as easy as filling out a single (albeit very long) application, I don't understand why many more landlords aren't doing this to bring rents back up to market.Thanks ahead for any insight!

We have all of our plans and have begun applying for permits (though that is taking much longer than expected due to Ian backup). 

@Russell Payne when underwriting a deal asa short term rental I'd think you’d want to be sure it also works as a long term rental, as a backup.

But it doesn't look like you think he provided you with $18k worth of value so he's prolly gonna be SOL.This is why I love this so much...Waaaaaay to many bottom feeders in the industry making $5k, $10k, $25k per year are all gonna be wiped out and those dollars are gonna roll right back up to Daddy where they belong.

I knew I was essentially looking to BRRRR with my back up plan to flip.

It depends on how deep is your knowledge, your experience, your willingness to invest in automation technology, always having a backup or two, your location in the community around you, of your property is in pristine or run down shape, whether you use the cheapest appliances or make things complicated or not,You didn't mention whether self-managed whether you mean you are on location or remote.
