Disclaimer: I am not a professional plumber.If it's an electric water heater, this doesn't apply.If it's a gas water heater... do you have a sufficient supply of combustion air to the closet you made?

I like that method if you can indeed get a lot of that data.Also, it's actually up in the air how much scraping of VRBO/Homeaway that these platforms perform, I didn't get a straight answer the first time I inquired (which is to be expected, this is fairly proprietary info) but I will dig further.

Learned some important lessons today while waiting for 2 1/2 hours at the MLGW office downtown Memphis to get utilities turned on in our business name...I hope sharing this will prevent you the time waste that MLGW is.1) You CAN open a business account on the phone through the residential service line.  

Sharing here for conveneince:Bullet Points for St Petersburg: Short term rentals (anything less than a month) are technically illegal, but...Code enforcement only enforces this on a "by complaint" basis.The City can't change this law in any way (in either direction) without risking losing the ability to regulate short term rentals altogether, so...We have a thriving Air BNB "black market", but it's inherently risky and you should not base your long term cash flow numbers on this model...the smart strategy seems to be get it while you can, but be prepared to quickly shift to a long term rental strategy if you get busted.

A bad review can prevent a guest from booking your listing, affecting directly your revenue.

In other words, if you get sued by a tenant at one building, the LLC should prevent them from suing the other LLCs.What an umbrella policy does is give you even more protection so that if you get sued, you can afford to pay the tenant and not lose the building in the process.
