I'll second @Jonathan Greene - STRs hemorrhage cash before you earn a dime in revenue.

In my experience, the water company will give the person paying the bill a credit for the overage caused by the leak.

I, personally, have mixed views on this.  

@Stephen BrossardWhen deciding between investing in Michigan or Florida, it really comes down to what you personally prefer and what your goals are when it comes to risk.

Personally, a developer bought land next to us and tried to clear a portion of our land along with his, said the line was unclear and he'd dispute it so best to let him proceed, but he backed off once he knew we had our survey and owners title and would make a claim.

Hey @Reuben Pena - Man I feel you as well - I have dealt with city violations personally and for many clients. 

Would our personal mortgages count against us for a cash out refinance?

In my personal research, Houzeo seems to be a solid Flat Fee MLS Service, a good interface and online forms, no % of sale $ with Bronze plan, a site buyers may have heard of, and good reviews on Trustpilot. 

Kyle, you are correct, you should not be responsible, but the fact is MN law requires you to pay unless you can show the bed bugs are a result of willful, malicious, or irresponsible conduct of the tenant or a person visiting the tenant, which is nearly impossible to prove. 

STR you personally can enjoy the property too2.
