The neighbours likely perceive no difference - just short term people coming and going. The reality is, and this was explained to them, that the guests are better vetted than the new boyfriend of the single mom across the street or the friends of the teenage boy who lives two or three doors down.
What really seemed to help as well was when I told them I wasn't angry that 'someone' called the county but instead it was a good thing because it would bring clarity. And it did. If I were the neighbours I would want to know that what was going on was legal and properly permitted too. Getting the municipality involved made it clear that I am in full compliance and that there is no action the County can / will take.
The other thing that I think has helped was that we have done more to upgrade the property in 10 months than what the previous owner did in 6 years so its obvious that we are not approaching this as an all take and only minimum give to keep it rentable.
Lastly, we are on site, cleaning, mowing the lawn, etc. regularly so we are accessible and active in the management of the property. All this stuff helps.
