In short, if you're not renting every week of July-August and every weekend of the winter, you're taking losses, particularly given the ridiculous prices I'm seeing new investors pay farther north in vacation areas like North Conway or the White Mountains.And looking solely at North Conway's recent court case is a red herring: plenty of small towns around the NH continue to enact knee-jerk reactions and excessive permitting/regulations as a reaction to STRs assumed role raising housing prices and shrinking supply for local residents.

a few reactions:-it doesn't sound like it was actually "completely renovated." 

In the beta program, tenant's reactions have been mixed but it may be a generational issue over who is more apt to want pay online versus by written check. 

Secondly I have been advised by my Dr to be tested for mold, parasitic, allergic or breathing problems.

Plan your next move based on your partner’s reaction to the attorneys letter.  

The property owner’s reaction to my offer will tell me more about his motivation and the likelihood of making a deal than all the research, strategizing, angst, information gathering, and other time wasting in the world.Since we’re looking at INVESTMENTS we have to realize there are virtually unlimited investment opportunities out there.  

The references are usually worthless but their reaction to even the request determines if they are real.  

.: @David Coltharta few more reactions:-most of the good contractors have more work than they know what to do with right now.  

I think they cut .25% to see how the reaction is.

Because his REACTION to my offer is going to tell me more about the possibility of make it a deal than all the prior research as to seller’s motivations, wants, needs, etc.If I make my offer and never hear back from the seller, I know there was no deal to be made in any case.
