This whole short-term rental thing was starting to sound too good to be true, you know?

Start with the people that already know, like, and trust you and then expand from there by building new relationships and nurturing them.What does this even mean?

@Chelsea CowgurStarting services in about a week and footings for the first 7 units right after.Excited to get started!

It sounds like you're growing your rental portfolio, so I suggest managing your properties like a business from the start.

Definitely start with market research

Neither will write on the property now due to fire hazard 

I am just a person on an internet message board, but have known enough attorneys and seen second and third hand enough lawsuits to know you are getting dragged in no matter what.Just a few things to think about before you start spending money to transfer, just to learn that it will cost you a lot more to have things like commercial insurance, commercial mortgage, business utility account (not more expensive, but typically require a large deposit to remain on account), etc.

I think if you have the ability and time, it's a great option as you are starting out.

(In our defense— our oven went out before we started on the kitchen and he hadn’t used/ opened the oven door in several months so it was in the way way back of our mind). 

And don't get me started on grocery stores – building one in Worcester instead of Shrewsbury would cost the property owner an extra $220k annually.City councilors, can we please get some action here?
