We have a development coming up for approval with the county adding over 100 units bordering our small town and you can bet everyone that lives in our town is upset about it. in the end though, the planning commissions in our area tend to follow the letter of the law so to speak, so if there is nothing in ordinance barring it, they will approve, generally.

You can probably pay for a course when one of the sucker roadshows comes thru town, but it is a ton of money. 

The lender is basing the amount they will lend on the income of the other STRs in town....I am trying to figure out how to deal with this...I really appreciate your time...Thoughts?

The easiest way to find and connect with wholesalers is either bigger pockets or by googling "sell my house fast in (town name)" although that may cost them a click for google ads.

Quote from @Raghavendra Pillappa: Quote from @Sameul Ahsan: My first question is: Do you need to register your short-term rental in that town or city?

Also what towns do you primarily rent in and how much of a loss do you take vs renting market rent?

Hi everyone,I am an out of town Michigan alum that's contemplating buying a SFR/Duplex as an real estate investment in Ann Arbor, preferably close to central campus and/or close to one of the University bus stops. 

For example, we have an artisan chocolatier in a town of 350 people.

I’d appreciate your perspectives.Here are the details about our current home:3/2 Class A property in a middle-America town with historically ~1% annual appreciation.Purchased in 2020 for $200,000 at a 3% 30-year fixed rate.Remaining mortgage: $150,000.Estimated value: $270,000 (based on recent sales).After selling costs: Likely $100,000 in net proceeds.Rental potential: $2,000–$2,300/month.PITI: $1,200/month ($700 mortgage + ~$500 insurance/taxes).Maintenance/CapEx/Vacancy (20%): ~$400/month.If kept as a rental:Net cash flow (self-managed): ~$500/month or ~$300/month with property management.Low appreciation potential but ~$400/month in principal paydown.Considerations:What’s the additional overhead of managing a second rental property remotely (3 hours away)?
