For the heat, I like to have a thermostat kind of hidden and locked at set temp such as 68 degrees, and have baseboard electric heaters in the units that way the tenants can "boost" the heat all they want on their own dime.

Right now it all seems so conceptual, but I am trying to put together a mental picture of how it would actually work... what they can do, how often they have to do it, and how much (range) I should be ready for

Curious how you think about future appreciation in STR dominant markets ... where homes are essentially being valued as income producing hospitality assets rather than homes ...i'm new to this - so please let me know if i'm thinking about this the right way - but it seems like in an STR dominant market appreciation would be driven by 3 things:1) increased demand from Airbnb consumers (essentially boosts NOI through higher occupancy/ ADRs, and therefore boosts market value of homes if you hold cap rates constant)2) increased demand from Airbnb investors willing to pay more for the same earnings (i.e., lower cap rates)3) inflationAm I thinking about this the right way?

for small multi and SFH - you add value and boost ARV. 

I'm not sure if rehab "has to" be completed before you apply for DF, but it's usually in your best interest because it will boost the appraised value which is obviously desirable (see #3).

If you'd like help with a professional website to boost your credibility even further please reach out to me. 

It might ding your credit score a little in the short run, but adding more and more open credit in the long run I believe boosts your score (e.g. larger lines, lower utilization rate) and provides yet another safety cushion.

They probably boosted up the price of these smaller multi's until the 1994 laws took into effect.

This way if you have to go to court you can bring more than 1 record of you informing the tenants; thus boosting your case.
