Also, check with condo management first as some have rental restrictions or wait-list for rentals, some can easily tell you they aren't approved right up front, and I verify condo fees as best to ask first, not waste time negotiating just to find out later the info in listing was wrong.    

My local NextDoor App has had a thread complaining about bike week guests at air bnb houses for a week now, while AZCentral.com has run a couple stories about non HOA neighborhoods changing their CCRs or similar restrictions by hiring a lawyer to tally a neighborhood owner vote and then setting forth the changes.What seemed like the early days of the internet now does not as much...

Look into the rules to be sure there are no restrictions on usage.

I like the gift card idea, that's pretty clever.Only reason I'm asking is that in Ontario we have a lot of restrictions around the leases....more so we are not allowed to charge a late fee. 

A bank could have a restriction on how they lend under this circumstance...and many do....but there is no "law" against it or for it. 

If you do in fact have a restriction (or pending) on your license follow this link @Shabar Marshall:http://www.dre.ca.gov/files/pdf/important_fee_noti...and seek legal assistance as well.Good luck..

Ironically, I made a list and recorded my first RVM campaign only to have their phone system go down. 

A lot of friends of mine who are also sponsors stay away from the TIC or DST model as the headache is not worth the return or restrictions to them.

I also think the main thing about my job that I don't like is the feeling of being restricted to someone else's schedule and their goals.

The reason why rent is so high in DC, San Fransisco, NYC, Seattle is partly due to rent control, zoning restrictions, limited building permits as well as NIMBYISM.
