@Kevin Howard I was considering St Aug, ended up staying closer to home but did have productive conversations with Chris Mury https://www.zillow.com/profile...

New York State's Warren County has a similar law. I scanned a digital copy of it and included it with an automated email guests receive when they've booked a property. 

It looks like this:

Best regards,

Please note that by law, Warren County, in the great state of New York, requires me to share the property's Certificate of Authority.

Love this, Just downloaded "Rents and Inventory 4.17.20" and ran into issues...with the tabs City State Avg Price and City State Inventory tabs

  • Looks like the google drive used isn't public (there wasn't an option to enter password).
  • line 9295 down on the City State Avg Price is blank

@Driton Selimaj check out meetup.com. There are a number there and several that I attend. Nick Tang runs some of the best in the area.

@Art Perkitny exactly. The Census makes it extremely difficult to find what zips comprise a MSA. The Missouri tool made it far easier!

Thanks @Jon Schwartz

Would love to take a look, will send you my email under separate cover.

Not sure if you're familiar with the Missouri Census Data Center Geocorr application (I wasn't) but I came across it recently in support of another project I'm working on. It uses Census data and makes searching a bit more accessible.

In and effort to get greater clarity on what zips comprise MSAs, I spent some time on the Census site trying to work with the ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) to Metropolitan and Micropolitan Areas Relationship File, but that doesn’t have the level of granularity I’m looking for.

I ended up using the Missouri Census Data Center Geocorr application (http://mcdc.missouri.edu/applications/geocorr2018.html) to get a list in my 'dream scenario' of Metropolitan and Micropolitan Areas Relationship to ZCTA (e.g. Miami – zip1, zip2, zip3, etc., Omaha – zip1, zip2, zip3, etc.)

Here's how I did it:

Select State(s)

Select Source geography: Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA) -- (found under both 2010 and 2013 geographies)

Select Target geography: ZIP/ZCTA

Select Run Request
