@Rene Hosman I don’t go to zoning meetings but I try to be as update to date as possible in places that I invest. A lot of zoning and town code around short term rentals has been changing as well as in my area, there are a lot of multi-families in single family zoned lots that are “grandfathered” in. Just do your research on where you are looking and then go from there.

Happy to have a conversation if you'd like in regards to strategy. As mentioned above, there a lot of different avenues to take with rental real estate and potential strategies.

@Tyler Speelman pretty common in this area (NJ) but I think depends on location. With the new rules, everything is negotiable.
