According to NYC, STR is hurting housing affordability just like normal people can buy a house or condo near the Time Square and Madison Garden. 

Many benefits to doing so. 2) If you are going to invest outside your area, the one thing I rarely see mentioned here is simply the "investment landscape".

I have been offered studio apartments in Discovery Gardens for AED 280000.00 is that a good deal .

Purchase price: $7,800,000 124 unit Garden Style apartment community located near Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK.

It seems that a mix of regulation on the legal side and taxation on the numbers side have changed the landscape.

We’d have a regularish house, a few acres (maybe more), gardens, alpacas, chickens. 

Improvements that DON’T drive the ARV as much: Windows, Landscaping, Driveway, Rough Plumbing & ElectricalI agree with @Jaron Walling about meeting the appraiser at the property and providing documentation.

So you don't need any flying ambers, at 1500F anything combustible will just spontaneously burst into flames.I was thinking about the people I have seen on social who tried to wet down their house with a garden hose.

There's also a major university there, Ken Griffin just moved Citadel hedge fund down there, and the technology entrepreneurial landscape is opening up as well.

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!
