After loosing his copyright claim with YouTube about my Landlords From Hell video trailer Clayton Morris is now suing me in attempt to keep me from releasing the full length film.Here is the case information for all of you as it's all public record.Morris v.

Length of Listing.Get at least a 6 month listing and be sure that there is no charge for cancellation. 5.

For townhomes, those usually have HOAs, and with HOAs, it can be an issue too since you can't control if the HOA changes policies on short-term rentals, lease lengths, etc, so HOAs can be your worst nightmare even if they appear good today.3) It depends again, do you want higher cash flow? 

.- Length of the loan, 20, 30, 50yrs?

Determine the length of the agreement and whether it will be renewed.Consequences for Violations:a.

VRBO fees and taxes are charged on all revenue including the host fees, so it's not a way to "get around" any of that.Those are usually fixed costs (cleaning fee, etc) that don't scale with length of stay which can make staying at an STR (particularly on VRBO which tend to be larger places on average) difficult for a very short stay. 

The cost will be spread out over the length of the mortgage (30 years), so in reality, you're not even going to pay full price for the use of it.Pay for it after you buy the property, and it's a lump sum out of your pocket...and all that cash flow you made up to that point goes "bye-bye" in what seems like an instant.

Is there a length of time prior to moving out & renting the unit that we should keep renovations within so we can argue that the upgrades were for rental purposes rather than personal in the case of an audit? 

Also, a bank is typically harder to bargain with if you had to extend the length of the loan or make smaller payments for a period of time due to financial hardships (always unexpected, but do happen!). 

@Samantha Klein  The length of rental history required depends on your bank.
