I like to cross reference other properties in the area.

I am at the point where I may just drive over to a few of the nearby ABnBs and ask for references.

@Blaise Doremus Favorite reference for in-depth information on the markets of the future is done by Urban Land Institute & pwc called Emerging Trends in Real Estate 

It’s 12 years in MD unless renewed (and I’m not referring to State tax liens which never expire, but I’m sure you knew that).No title policy means no LOI and no coverage under any applicable mutual indemnity agreement between insurers... so coverage is out and potential liability is on you.Easiest clear is connection to the address. 

With regard to the HELOC, I would refer you to another post that I just posted in BP Forums at this link here  https://bit.ly/3eW6jC0.

Here is an article that references it:  https://www.dlapiper.com/en/us...And I would just combine notification with a new lease as well....no need to overcomplicate the situation at that point.

I suppose google images is old

Short-term typically refers to "less than 30 days" which is more like an AirBnB situation.

Since the LLC for a rental is predominantly used for asset protection, we always refer out to attorneys to form the entity.

That is nuts...did you screen him for credit/income/references and all that?
