I found someone with a big short term rental hotel alternative house (8500 sq feet) with hot tub, etc. in a very nice part of town near where a bunch of friends (that I am sure would help with cost) I am going to visit.
I am guessing the house is going in to foreclosure based on the fact what he is charging would barely cover the property taxes, let alone the mortgage and utilities. It's only partially furnished.
Ideally I want to rent it out for NYE and be able to have 15 people or so, and a place for me to crash a few other days while in town. I would only have situations there that I was comfortable wouldn't get out of hand, and certainly not cause damage. I am totally willing to be liable for any damages.
Should I tell them I want it for NYE with the intent of having people over? Should I offer a deposit? through an escrow company? Should I try to weasel them in to letting me stay there NYE, and then have people over? Any one familiar?
