I'm also hopeful to get some local cooperation now that he's claiming partnerships with local government. 

You have the most to lose now since you'd be out all of your investment if the FC goes ahead.

Realistically, to make the business work, they are hoping all the people who are using the "free services" to eventually go into banking where they can collect fees for anything bank related.

Get a nice downpayment (lower LTV better)Hope this helps

That's one of the fastest ways to lose money. 

Hope you're able to connect with Jeff as well!

I've heard too many stories of investors purchasing homes for STR use, only to find that they lose their permit or the ability to transfer it when they sell.

I have a great one in Kansas City for over 15 years that I've used multiple times (only auto loans however), but hoping to branch out locally as I begin my investor journey in Arizona. 

It's not only the money you'll lose, it's the time you spend (I figure worth $100 hr) and the mental anguish and stress.

Hope that helps explain the policy a bit more :) I need to stress again that I was not in the right frame of mind when I made this post.
