Zillow applications are one example of a poor implementation. 

If you look in the news or in posts here, you will see the reported Smokies visitation numbers are down by 700K for 2025. 

Those who press on discount deals, for example the "I've been here ___ time, can't I get a discount for that?"

If they push back, we provide a few examples of similar rentals, then give them a week to do their research before deciding. 90% of the time, they will accept the increase.NOTE: This is less of an issue if the landlord does small increases every year to stay close to market rates.

Quote from @Ryan Knapp: I've gotten some estimates and a study and seeing wildly differing numbers as far as tax savings as well as cost.

For example, non-rental primary residences do not qualify for cost segregation, since the property must be held for business or investment purposes.

Look for non HOA neighborhoods.If you see a lot of STR'S listed in certain neighborhoods its likely they are legal there, but you would need to confirm.

Wanted to see if y'all can recommend good property management companies, and possibly good contractors in Akron, Ohio.

It's also nice to see a few other CT folks in the responses.
