Each city has its own laundry list of licensing requirements, but they have not had the power to limit the number of rentals or make other market-limiting moves.This issue is likely to come up again.

As I run the numbers on local listings, I'm curious to see if anyone has any advice on estimating insurance costs on small multi-family in our region.

We had it on a Heloc for 3 months, then did a cash out refi- This thing was TOTALLY redone and needed more love this past 12 month- Can I take a $15k loss on this due to the fact that I have easily spent over 100 hours this past year running it, staying at the actual cabin, paperwork, book keeping, purchasing items, etc (BTW, this would not include travel)- I have those miles listed out separately.- If so, would this be a deduction from my wages that I have earned in 2023/Thanks in advance- Janis 

There are many ways to do this and many potential lead sources to consider.With MLS access, you can look up expired listings and call up those homeowners.

As a listing broker, do you hold the responsibility of reviewing closing settlement statements or can this be done by a salesperson? 

I dont know what they charge to be listed as lender or an agent..

I actually furnished all the rooms already back when I bought the house, so I've been trying to list my rooms on Airbnb.

Once we have a completed application, we verify income (by calling the employer and/or with paystubs), verify previous address history (this will show up on the credit check, we ask about any addresses that show up on the credit check but are not listed on their application), and verify identity by requesting a copy of their photo ID to make sure their info matches the application and screening reports.Next, we run credit, criminal, and eviction reports.

They will work for you for "free" on the purchase and you will eventually need a rock star when listing your flip.

You have to know and pick your renters well.
