Jay became responsive all of a sudden.

This way, if there is a sudden expense; I can cover some or most of it.

There are a number of repairs I can think of like roof, heater, AC that can all of the sudden break down and need replacement which will cost about half as much as the entire house.

Technically the house is not out of code, however, if there were to be an electrical surge it could damage appliances plugged into ungrounded outlets or potentially cause a fire.

With the right STRs I can get there much much faster.Cash flow is worth the day to day effort - if you use a property manger with an STR - it won't be near as profitable.For STRs in destination vacation markets, most of them surged in occupancy rates and in nightly rates.  

STR rental being run out of your home (is this allowed, if so will the company bail on you if it suddenly isn’t), a lease to a company so if they stop paying rent your hosed, a larger number of people with a chance to sue if you if they are hurt (make sure your landlord policy covers short term rentals and your property being used as a business location).Now list your upsides…are they offering at least double market rent and a few months of rent as a security deposit?

What if landlord says "I'm not asking for rent," offers to help with moving costs, and agrees to release security deposit to help with financial burdens of a sudden move.

This will suddenly add a lot more people who are able to pay much more in rent to a very crowded rental market with already low vacancies. 

There may have been a significantamount of weight in the room and at the same time a sudden jolt to the sill from someone jumping couldhave caused it to crack.

How do they suddenly know the system needs to be repaired?
