I have seen the occasional tenant pour cement down the drainpipe or other intentional damage(No they were not prosecuted) but that is rare as well. 

Yes, there is regulation and licensing involved, but if you are doing everything right, there is no issue and occasionally a speed bump.  

Check it out for the van, Bill.My thing is the guys with the extravagant facial hair, the really big beards, talking about getting down and dirty in their own rehabs.

Homeaway not so much, but that's fairly easy to do.Brevard also checks in occasionally on safety stuff like fire extinguishers and we maintain our wells with water quality checks every quarter, I've never been asked by Brevard to produce them but we have them anyway.

Also occasional calls from agents wanting to sell it for me - off market. 

I'm just on the other side of the Smoky's from you and occasional take day trips over towards Asheville. 

Plus, occasionally you find out you weren’t really over market even at that higher rent. 

Otherwise, people going around you occasionally is simply a cost of doing business in the manner you are doing business.

Often, I'll owner occupants who respond to the listing, and I'll explain that I'm looking for a cash buyer...occasionally, I'll an owner occupant who is also a cash buyer.Btw, I normally don't list the property on the MLS until after I purchase it, but assuming it's legal in your state to list on the MLS while you have it under contract, that will work also.

I think these properties are a lot like mine and I personally wouldn't be interested at a 12...These properties are not for the faint of heart...Occasionally you will get a meth lab etc, they require lots to get in rent ready form.
