The original lease shows 5 people, no ages (husband, wife, and either 3 kids (or 2 kids and possibly the roommate- in which case is fine as long as they don't now mention another person).6. 

I have been doing a lot of research into where we might buy another STR and was looking at Big Bear Lakes, CA because it is very close to a downhill MTB park and my kids race DH and have always wanted to get a place close so we can go spend a few weeks there whenever we want. 

My kids play all sports and baseball is the most humbling.

Hi all, I have been house hacking for a few months now and my tenants above me allow their kids to ride scooters in the house.

Every parent of small kids will want a tub.  

Story is the owners got old moved in with their kids and their kids had their own home and didn't want to be bothered with the house.
