Tenant after move in, pulls the ESA with a pitbull puppy.

Many licenses can't be transferred to the new owner and some people secretly run STR in places they shouldn't.

Is there something im missing if i am the owner and i live there ?

I'd also join Facebook groups for property owners in the Smoky Mountains- there are a few of them.

The current owner never applied for a rental license.

Also recognize that if there are more defaults in the association, again your buyer pool will be very low as investors typically do not like condos and most owner occupied borrowers do not have cash.IF I was buying that many units I would also have a third party engineering study done or ask the HOA when the last one was done.

If Holistic REI is a break-off of that or the same owners are affiliated (which may be a reason for the name change) I would be very cautious.

I am one of the owners.

I would recommend a bit more competitive pricing and really giving those first few guests an amazing experience (extra goodie bags, hand written notes etc)As a local cohost, I actually require all my owner's to create their own account and add me as a cohost.

In Colorado Springs, non-owner occupied STRs are only allowed in properties zoned R2 orbsome other multi-unit zoning and are also 500' away from another non-owner occupied short-term rental.
