Hi All - Looking for my next investment move and considering diving into the short-term rental market.

They also changed their terms prior to closing.

They seem, at the surface, to be a logical instrument for long term incentive alignment, especially in today's market.

They need a judgment to accomplish much typically.

You could aim to get the studious, low key, chill type of tenant as opposed to the rambunctious party animals typically found in a college setting thus avoiding the types of "confrontation" that are likely to come with the latter.

"the typical home warranty costs $450 annually, and only 25% of premiums are paid to homeowners.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

There maybe instances where you might do this for a short term, say allowing the buyer to file the next tax return to qualify.

If its on the same parcel still as the main property it would be appraised alongside with the home - typically not taking full credit for rental income but more of additional square feet/space to the property. 

However, with my 1 short term rental I am struggling to remain confident that this is the right strategy as when something does happen it seems I lose at least a couple days with them dispatching and then following up.
