I've got something to say, it's better to burn out than fade away.

House burned down recently fully; lot cleared.Is asking round same price now for just the lot, says insurance reimbursed for replacement, but hasn't answered  how much was the replacement cost, which is needed for the rebuild paperwork as planning dept only permit similar replacement.What else should I require in the offer, or just walk? 

I also route buyers away from neighborhoods where I know there is subtle resistance, such as a few pockets in Scottsdale where homeowners have planted "Homes Not Hotels" signs in their yards.Having said that, there is a lot of hoopla around regulations, but when it comes time to make changes, cities have only imposed minor inconveniences, such as registering your rental to ensure you are paying transaction privilege tax and posting the name and number of a local contact who can be on the scene to respond to any noise calls made to police.Whenever there are any campaigns to limit rentals, STR owners show up at the state house to defend their property ownership rights, so regulation attempts have been limited to the kinds of overlays I've mentioned above.No one wants major party houses in their neighborhoods, so choosing your tenant type wisely and setting your STR up in a way that doesn't accommodate huge crowds is a hedge against attracting unwanted attention.As far as price points, while there are a few condo complexes that allow STRS, the majority of STR buyers are purchasing SFR with pools to maximize their revenue.

Even if the properties burned down we have so much insurance that we would probably make out on the deals (that's obviously not something we want though!!). 

Im not seeing anying go for under asking price or even asking price (unless the place has burned to the ground & the ask is just for land.2.

You are almost guaranteed to get burned if you buy either of these deals. 

I'm not from NC but I have started to always charge first, last and security deposit after I got burned with the tenant who use their security deposit for their last month's rent, leaving me know security deposit from which to take the cost of the two doors she literally took with her and some of the other issues.I also charge between $250 to $500 More than A month's rent for the security deposit because my properties are newly remodeled.

I charge $500 to $600 per pet as a pet deposit.I charge $25 to $50 per pet rentAll pets must be spayed or neutered and be up to date on their shots and I require this proof before they ever move in because I got burned this last time I didn't get the proof beforehandI require them to have a $20,000 insurance policy against any damage the pet does to the property.

I'm in Los Angeles where a lot of landlords have been burned, I would want to make sure the tenants have been paying each month. 

Do you guys have any tips on how to manage inherited tenants to avoid unwanted problems.
