I did enjoy the location and the size of that city, though! 

It looks like they are taking cues from recent regulations implemented in Arlington, TX.That being said, the success of short-term rentals (STRs) boils down to fundamental factors such as location, pricing, and execution.

Home equity is 6-7% depending on length 5yrs vs 15yrs a 30 yr mortgage is 6%...Ideally rental stays rented out bringing in 1/2 of mortgage payment on new house based on numbers and is already cash flow positive bring in $1200/month (worth about 180k)and new property is going for 240k going rental price is about $2,000/month but I owe 18k still on private mortgage- reason I want to pay it off (4% flat 720 interest from cc for 1 year) to have it 100% paid off, then use home equity to pay off....or try to balance transfer balance after 1 yr which ever is lower but I figured that would mess with debt to income ratio and with this property being brand new, which is hard to find being located outside of closest major city...goal is to keep house rented out till it's paid off while also being cash flow positive with both properties combined and using paid off/ nearly paid off 1 to pay for 2nd rental, so I'd say lowest debt while also building wealth/equity not worried about a monthly/yearly profit per say as long as someone else is paying down the mortgage ie: my current property is bringing in $1200/month but current market value says it should bring in atleast $1500-$1600 but the tenant is phenomenal so she's paid same rent since 2017 I've put about 36k into between mortgage payments for 2 years and some up keep...she's put in the other 130k!!

Talk to your local professionalsMy properties are in the Midwest. 

First, does your lease address the issue, (such as in this example):  "Tenants will obey all local, regional, and federal laws or be subject to eviction."

I am a local Long Island Real Estate Agent covering everything from investment opportunities, development opportunities, home selling, home buying and everything in between. 

I don’t know your location and your landlord insurance policy.

I can tell you that their involvement is on the financing side only, as they work with local installer partners on the back end with the installer managing the customer relationship so Mosaic wouldn’t typically interact with the customer directly which might explain the gap in the line of communication.

You'll find tons of good info here, I recommend checking out a local meetup or two as they're super helpful to brush shoulders with other folks that have either done what you're doing or are asking the same type of questions. 

Hi @Arya Chen you may have better luck if you post in the Classifieds section of the forum specific to the areas you're looking in because those forums are location specific!
