I waited for the deal to hit the market and the price to naturally drop since it was very evidently overpriced.Once I came back to the deal, I negotiated a new power panel to be installed, to upgrade to 200 amp service, and then I offered to take the property, as-is, given the price was dropped down to $150k from $160k, so I had a little more room for error on learning with this property.

So in a nutshell, I can live without STR ability on a Galveston loft property provided that: (1) 30 day leases are permitted (I always rent my properties out fully furnished - so they are good for the corporate housing by owner type tenants); and (2) there is enough demand to sustain rentals of this nature approximately 9 months out of the year or more.

What happens when the electric company increases the cost of electricity by 30% because they were forced to switch from burning natural gas to burning  squirrel dung because it is more environmentally friendly? 

The deposit is then handled like I would for a natural termination.Request early termination in writing using the form I provide, pay a termination fee equal to one month of rent, and allow me to show the rental to perspective renters.

You should have focused on unethical/unconstitutional nature of forcing property owners to provide housing services without compensation by their moratorium and the loss that you along with others are suffering as a result. 

The government tends to fail in an epic nature when it comes to getting involved in 'helping' as they don't know when to stop 'helping' - just as they don't know how to stop taxing so they can pay for their 'helping'.
