There's some mis-information and mis-understanding of AP, the process and it's effect in this thread.

That time I was looking at getting 201 S Washington (a 5 unit rental) and S Washington wasn't designated as STR and Gettysburg City said that I had to go thru the process of applying for zoning licence which is followed by a hearing with the neighbors as the jury who would hand me the verdict - yes/no.I like analyzing markets and observing them for a number of months/years.

But at the local commercial level, you’ll have a more in depth underwriting review process  

@Jackson Pudlo you'll have a better chance of success managing a unit right next door and learn a lot.Versus...Buying a rental in a few years that not near you.One of the biggest mistakes newbie investors make is not paying enough attention to their rentals because they are too busy with family & work.You really won't be able to ignore a rental next door to you!

Let’s discuss what’s working to navigate these shifts and make 2025 a successful year!

I know people that have had great BRRRR success in Detroit and Memphis, including myself.

@Karin RecaldeWhere are you in the process now?

I'm just starting out with a STR and I'm in the process of vetting companies for tax strategy and asset protection. 

Use your first deal as a stepping stone to long-term success!

There are a few in my area that I keep an eye on to see how successful they might be and I’m always looking for properties with potential to be something grand.
