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

We've been looking in this location for a while but the property that popped up recently has a mold sitaution in the basement.... I am sure it's also upstairs.... how easy is it to remedy this? Or should we stear clear?

To address your main concern about buying a stinker property: most of the time when a property looks good on paper but stinks in real life is because of an older property with a lot of deferred maintenance, hidden defects and capex issues.

I sent an inquiry last night and got a message to go back on the site with my email address.

My Mom is having an issues with an employee she recently fired, that she is suspecting wrote a bunch of negative reviews on her google account(no actual proof).

I know it will be an issue if sell, but what if I never sell and just keep it as a rental? 

So far, there has been no disturbance to the community, but we want to get ahead of the issue.

Don’t waste your time otherwise.The last thing you want to be doing in rental arbitrage is doing minor repairs to the house.Even if the landlord pays for it according to the lease, the issue is you’ve got to front it so you can get it done to avoid vacancy or bad reviews.Be in the business of hospitality, not real estate.

It was a leak, fix it replace the sheetrock and damage other items and move on Why would you file and insurance claim for such a small issue?

We've contacted the neighbor and he's agreed to draw up an easement to resolve the issue.
