I'll have HOA managers contact me if one of my guests brought an animal they weren't supposed to have or are causing any other problems, so I can deal with it immediately instead of waiting for the cleaner to show up to a trashed property.

The reason is that successful short-term-rentals are a very different animal than long-term rentals, and even in the ways they look the same, they're different in enough to make their management entirely separate issues.

These are labs at about 60 lbs per animal.

And I realize that DSTs are different animals than regular revocable living trusts. 

If it is a breed that might be seen as a threat it can also be on you for allowing a dangerous animal to reside there!

Medium term and long term are a completely different animal and should not be managed by the same type of property manager.

St Pete is its own animal but there is a ton of demand the closer you get to downtown. 

You have a seller in potential need here, but likely not distress - those are very different animals. 

I love animals and have them and I know how hard it can be to have them and rent.

Hello dear fellow investors,I've just bought an easy fixer upper that only needs cosmetic improvements (a fresh coat of paint, new flooring, tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, clean the pool).
