The continued driver shortage leads to some pretty long waits. 

From what I hear on the recent podcast 710 it's a great alternative to short-term rentals but a lot of leg work to get licensed and set up.

My short term rentals are still booking well near Tesla.

I know there is a lot of uncertainty coming from all directions about the next 1-3 years in short term real estate.  

I would've liked to hold onto it for the cash flow and to use the equity to purchase other properties but my wife and I sold it and got divorced shortly after.

In any case, I find the strategy short-sighted.

You tend to see these short cuts taken more frequently in lower valued real estate where it can be  difficult to make the numbers pencil if you are following all licensing and permitting requirements.

@Timothy Swaan My plan isn't overly complicated, but I think where most people fall short is simply not CONSISTENTLY following their plan year after year! 

If so and its lead paint they will ask you to remediate.
