Once actual invoices come in, you typically can’t charge more than what you initially withheld without strong justification.

The question isn’t just if the boom is coming, but who’s prepared to act when it does.

Fast forward to today and one of those existing STR's has become a nuisance to the neighborhood and so the HOA board is planning to ban all STR's using what they believe are provisions in the CC&Rs to justify it and have consulted an attorney to validate the legal standing on implementing this ban.The CC&Rs were written in 1998 (before STR's was even a thing) and have these sections being cited by a couple members of the board as justification for banning the rentals (note there is not anything explicit about STR's in the documents)Section 1 – Single Family Residential – states in part, “… Lots… shall be used for no purpose other than residential purposes.”

If a similar standard were applied throughout the forum, you can imagine the number of posts that would be flagged.In a similar situation, I had a post-reply flagged because I included the phrase "I lend in XYZ area" merely as a justification to my own credibility, and not as a promotion.It's painful to have a post or reply with good content that's voted on flagged due to the inclusion of only a small phrase that may contradict forum guidelines, and I believe an alert to edit the post-reply before it's removed (or at least to provide the author the post's original content) would be a huge addition to the forums. 

This OP, as I pointed out in my previous post, “doubles|down” on the lie that (1) personal assets are not at risk  - they absolutely are as the OP admits, albeit with some non sensible justification about specific assets not being pledged(2) protects personal credit - as already stated the personal guarantee necessary will affect the credit card holders credit capacity , and as such find its way to their credit report, and hence affect credit scoring. (3) is lower risk - this may be the biggest lie of all.  

Perhaps following suit as Canada won a lawsuit in 2021 against Airbnb on similiar charges, esp. given its currently only going to apply to PMS connected hosts.That may be their justification but I disagree.

This would be a justification for charging higher rent. 

My intention is not to rip someone off, I don’t know how to navigate this situation and am looking for help there.I’m looking for clarification and justification on an itemized invoice for the nearly double expense that the biohazard company is quoting me after the work was completed for a small room and a moderately small stain. 

10-12x is just insanity, 10x of net is itself expensive and would need a heck of a lot of justification behind it for revenue growth probabilities not just potential. 

Curious to hear from the group: have appraisals or ARV justifications been the bigger hurdle for you?
