:)I threw the doors out, burned the wood paneling and subfloor (stay upwind!)

here is a better tip... use burner app.no additional phones, no prepaid crap. all you do is buy tokens to keep the new number it was created and when you dont need the number anymmore, you burn it with a click.this way you can have 1 number for stroller on CL, another number for quotes, a third number for that annoying neighbor that keeps calling u.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

My tenants are great.....but if I don't get to market rates, that's like burning cash. 

Its a great market but I have seen many distance investors burned here as well.

Otherwise you burn through your "spare" money and the HELOC and the house isn't done yet...and now you have high utilization on the HELOC, making the entire thing a really difficult endeavor to get out of. 

Cash burn is about 6000 to 8000 annually until at least one commercial unit is rented.  

Ask your agent specific example questions - if the short term rental TENANTS burn the place down accidentally would the fire be covered by my policy?

Zac, I have a friend who put a metal roof on his home just a few months prior to it burning completly down.

First which everybody I think gets burned is that never go with the cheapest quote. 

My understanding @Tracy Burns is that when you move from the home, you will no longer be eligible for the Homestead Deduction and will, therefore, be no longer eligible to have your STR license according to DC's current law.
