Appreciate the response.No, sadly I live in a small town 45 minutes from Allentown where multi-units come up every other month or so, and go quick.

It’s great that you’ve built up some reserves.

What I've seen before is the only time rules are enforced are when neighbors get pissed (ie STR neighbors).I would side with caution on this, especially if it is a newer built community where the rules are fresh with people. 

Built in property managent.

First I would call the town and ask for the STR requirements.

The other issue is that town is a one trick pony. 

If it’s in a great part of town, these generally tend to not be the best from a cash flow perspective. 

We use Buildium and our own website we built and maintain.

So after being laid off a few times in the last 8 years I decided to get back into investing but this time focusing on buy and hold multi family real estate so that I could built wealth that could help me retire my wife who just had a long battle with cancer and survived , but is now back to work, and I want to give her a relaxing life free of all the stress of the world (by the way did I mention she is also in the mortgage lending field) so that explains the urgency to retire her from w-2 work ! 

The northland (as north of the river is often called) is also a burgeoning home to massive data centers including one built by Facebook’s parent Meta and also has charming and distinctive downtowns including North Kansas City and Parkville.
