And you avoid things like damaged properties (guest insurance from airbnb or prop manager themselves cover that), evictions, collections, etc.   

The only time it might make a difference is if you have a reputation of being good at what you’re proposing or a good citizen in general and then some of the requirements of the Planning Board (which in my town deals with the project and how it is structured with regards to the property) might be a little more lax.

If forced to cure - and it will be a condition of remedy - the tenant can take action against you for damages from leasing an illegal property. 

They are a reputable company. 

That's when it hit me.I believe that even though none of the properties these tenants were living in took damage from the storms, they applied for FEMA assistance anyway.

After the fire in 2016 damaged or destroyed more than 2,000 buildings, 16,000 acres, with 16 lives lost, I think they are trying to be better about enforcement.

First deals have a bad reputation for being a "miserable experience."

With VRBO you there is no damage coverage or insurance unless you pay for it separately, the website and app are very clunky and you can't vet any guests - it's a crap shoot! 

All Contractors are subject to the lender’s determination that the contractors are qualified and experienced, have all appropriate credentials required by the state, are financially able to perform the duties necessary to complete the renovation work in a timely manner, and agree to indemnify the borrower for all property losses or damages caused by its employees or subcontractors.Multiple Specialized Contractors:Ø Since this is a limited repair/renovation program, no General Contractor is required.

@Joy McQuearyRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
