I would look into that because customer service is very important in STRs.

If you acutally have a business and are trying to sell something, the services section is $5/post and all you get are cheap customers, who you wouldn't want as customers anyways. also haven't had any luck on resume or job section when trying to hire.

So I see the banks doing something similar in the US.Perhaps some US banks are already starting to do something on a case-by-case basis because I’ve been getting messages from my mortgage companies similar to what the European banks are sending out (”We would encourage any customer experiencing financial difficulty to get in touch with us”).

And they will often customize if for you specific needs. 

To confirm it I would go downtown to the permits office on fayette st when they are open to confirm it myself. 

Some spec, some custom as GC and some build to suit.

If you can provide value then you will naturally earn yourself some customers along.

I own my home in CH and I sorta househacked in that my house came with a permitted ADU, so I rented that out for a few years.

Are you going to be able to get permit?

Many agents worth working with have a minimum commission to ensure that every customer gets equal attention no matter what they are buying.
