Tenant laws, taxes, crazy city council...you name it. 

@Amber Ponte It's going to be pretty hard to do that unless you know people on the city council and/or who work in the local government.

Brian Gallagher at Council Baradel? 

I am not sure if you have to go through the city council process, good question to ask.

Also I am somewhat circumspect about in investing in a new real estate deal as it can be somewhat tough to find tenants during this Pandemic so was considering other options that would save on interest such as refinancinv and HELOC but I am open to other ideas.ThanksI can't evaluate what you are finding or not finding in Des Moines, but I do know there are ample deals in the Omaha and Council Bluffs markets, both which are driving distance from you.

I do intend to run this by my legal council, but wanted to see what others had to say first.

the Portland City Council approved a limitation on rental housing application fees during its August 3, 2020 meeting, which will be added to the City’s Code, Chapter 6, Buildings and Building Regulations, Section 223.1.

The California Judicial Council voted 19-1 to drop their eviction moratorium.

All zoning changes are voted on by City Council, which can be a blessing or a curse depending on what the council person for that district wants the land use to be for that parcel. 

Not in any way, shape or form trying to be negative but STRs in Nashville have been the most highly contested issue in the history of the Metro council and as a result the red tape stretches for many miles.
