I called my realtor who checked - it is Not a Short sale.

Luckily the State of Florida restricts municipalities ability to restrict STR's since 2011 so one less thing for us to worry about here.However, I do agree the "bust" is mostly over (depending on market) as we are up 15% YoY on our existing portfolio, but I would stop short of calling it a boom!

This is a duplex and I live in the upstairs unit so I got to hear all of it and I had to be the one to call the police.

So i called a plumber who came over and installed it.

It sounds like you had trespassers and should have called the police.

@Danny Van you can also attend Oakland REIA and MREI, both held monthly in Troy.Regarding what to do, first you'll need to call the City and get their rental application to fill out, pay the fee, submit and schedule the inspection.It's mostly a health & safety inspection: smoke detectors, a CO detector near furnace, handrails, GFCI's. etc.WARNING: Warren doesn't really like landlords, so they can be picky about previous work done without permits - even if it was done before you bought the property!

I'd be happy to set up a call to discuss your lending options and numbers.

I've called you and messaged you multiple time through iMessage, but you have never responded to me.

I would call around to find the best rate! 

You can try giving him a call - Michael Goethals in Royal Oak, Michigan.
