We haven't even covered if there is an issue in the other direction whereas, if there is property damage i.e. electrical fire becuase of the way the issue was approached, is the Tenant responsible?

Fast forward to this past summer, started having some issues and was wondering if anyone else works with them and can provide some oversight 1) prop mgmt agent - we switched to a new agent and we have been having issues (addressing us by the wrong name/gender/etc, spelling errors in emails, long response times, one word responses to issues that were outstanding for a while, not contacting the right person despite us requesting several times, etc.) 2) issues with communications regarding finding a new tenant - we were notified in October '23 that our tenants were not renewing and we requested that our unit be shown prior to vacancy in January '24.

Now, an already occupied property might sound good for quick cash flow, but there's a catch – you haven't screened the tenant, opening the door to potential issues.

If you go this route, you may not need a property manager, especially if you are local and enjoy dealing with landlord/tenant issues.

Have you had any issues with the city regulations regarding STRs using this method? 

It is a big investment to purchase a property knowing this is an issue and then have to treat it with a company.

Thanks Bryan, I'm using them currently and facing similar issues.

It’s zoned RSA-5 as a residential single family with permit use as a single family.

Last year (2017), we paid for engineering and permit costs but then put the project on hold.

After discussing with her, due to the age of the house she is wanting to get out from under it as there are some cosmetic issues about the house that would just take the time and funds to do (like replacing some of the laminate wood slats, harder to find an exact match than anything).
