@Paul SchaefleI would start by contacting the village and or Hall and see how they regulate and if they do regulate short-term rentals.

If they have not confirmed an hour prior to their appointment, I send this text to their phone (which was required as part of their contact information I required in the response to my ad):As I had requested in my email, you have not yet confirmed your apartment showing for this evening, scheduled for 7:00pm.

Please contact me to learn more.

I’m trying to contact the owners, because they don’t live there.

You need to speak with the insurance company directly to see exactly what their policy covers.Here's a good overview.I recommend you contact at least three different carriers to see the differences.

I plan to contact my lawyer to discuss estate planning very soon.Something I’ve done for myself and my family is I have a diary (notebook) for all my properties.

Contact me off forum if you would like to discuss. 

I have not been getting any responses through Craigslist, especially because the contact phone number is "encryted" (wrriten-out) to eliminate SPAM and SCAMS.So,  my questions are:Should I be using a different rental approach?

Feel Free To Contact Me Anytime Mr.

On the phone, learning the basics, making my contact base, social media to the core!
