Just think about it.People have an accident on a rented boat and blame you because you provided the booze they drank.Now that would most likely be a scam of course but it could work.

Hi @John Arena, It sounds like you're experiencing some common challenges with property management that might warrant exploring other options.

I put that in quotes because the property I am looking at is zoned as a commercial building with a gutted upstairs apartment.I'd like to purchase the property with a renovation loan, something like FHA 203k or Fannie Mae Homestyle. 

But, You buy it like an automobile.

I like that Airbnb is very transparent with reviews. 

In general it sounds like "help me help you" is the best approach, what else has worked for people as far as things to offer?

Seems like it could be an easy exit with no cost to me to demo.

For criminal background checks, services like TransUnion SmartMove, RentPrep, or MyRental are commonly used and provide comprehensive reports that include criminal history, credit checks, and eviction history.To verify how much they make, you can request recent pay stubs, bank statements, or tax returns if the tenant is self-employed.

It also seems likely that you would be under capitalized and a recipe for disaster.How to scale?  

Can I even break even if Summer rental season is a max of five months, and more likely three?
