Argument leads to shooting in Scottsdale short-term rental; party organizer arrested
According to Officer Aaron Bolin, authorities were called out to a home near Hayden and Indian School roads around 2:50 a.m. Investigators believe that two women had an argument, which escalated to a shooting. People inside the home began to run off once the shooting happened and police started arriving.
While no one was injured and no property damage was reported, several people at the scene were detained which ended in one arrest. Police say the party's organizer, identified as 29-year-old Armando Sotelo-Carrillo, is facing recommended charges of disorderly conduct and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Carrillo is not believed to have been involved in the shooting.
The Scottsdale Police Department is asking for witnesses and individuals that were involved at the party to come forward. Anyone with information should call the police tip-line

The crime has nothing to do with the fact that it happened to occur at an STR. Statistically there are bound to be incidents at STRs. Please don't feed this false and negative narrative about our industry.

Get enough properties and you'll have crime problems to deal with, regardless of asset type.
Less likely on A-class properties but statistically coming across this type of thing as a real estate investor is inevitable with enough time and scale.

Yep. Simply deal with enough HUMANS and you're bound to have drama of some sort. Do all the responsible things an STR owner should do: rental agreements, verification of renter, cameras outside, clear rules, and good insurance (among others). Then have a sense of adventure! Heck. We had all three renters arrested for felony possession with intent to distribute (aka drug dealers) in one of our LTRs and we never even knew about it till over a year after they left. Cops were a bit slow on the notification thing. Not all drama is the end of the world.

Ok wait, were they paying rent from jail? Or did they not get locked up?

Believe it or not, we NEVER heard about it from the city at all. We read about it 18 months later when someone asked us, "So what happened in that Felony drug bust at your house?" And we were like, Uhhhhhh, and looked it up. We have no idea what happened. But they paid rent every time, on time. Generally kept the house nice too.
