I’ve been mulling over the idea of moving and converting my home into a mid-term rental, but I’m in the early stages of research.

Purchased a home in Oakland in late 2022 which had a non-permitted garage-converted detached ADU in the backyard.

They will be forwarding over a list of contractors they use.Does anyone know what a typical contractor load-out would look like on a land development deal that will convert raw forested land into a "Ryan Homes" type subdivision? 

If you moved into the other side you are now converting a rental property (one side of the duplex) into your primary residence. 

In my current analysis, I'm (trying to) take that into account during our "move out event", including converting to a conventional loan, renting out both units, etc.

**Basement Water Damage:** The walls in the basement are wet up to 15 inches, and it appears that water is seeping in from the ground.3.

Every where we asked, it is not possible to convert from our personal name to an LLC (which own by us). 

If the proper permitting was done when you converted the double to a single you would not need them to "acknowledge" anything.Buffalo is like any city, there are good areas and bad.  

Our detached garage is about 325 square feet now and half of that space was legally converted to a recreation room with a bathroom in the 80s.

I do not want to go into another vacation market but rather a metro area with a more diversified economy again just to get into a different type of asset.That being said I do want to continue to short term rent the next few properties we get at least in the first few years of ownership in order to increase cash flow to combat these higher prices and carrying costs before potentially converting to more passive long terms down the line.Therefore I am looking for markets that 1) have a decent draw of visitors year round 2) have regulations that allow strs in some parts of the city 3) Are in growing cities in the west or south.Below is a list of markets I have identified as potential places to look and I was hoping to get some insight from either other investors doing the same thing or agents/investors in any of these markets on whether this is potentially a good market to explore or not.1) Salt Lake City (this is right at the top of my list due to its proximity to ski resorts, expanding of the airport and long term strategic business planning of the area but I have very little knowledge of this market)2) Denver 3) Phoenix (used to live in AZ and like the fact that the state of AZ seems to look favorable on strs)4) Tucson (see above but lower home prices/potentially less appreciation)5) San Diego/LA (these are attractive because of their proximity to my home in Irvine)6) San Antonio (love that it is very close to the booming Austin and feel that this is a market that could see some real growth in the future)7) Tampa/St Pete (I have always been very interested in this market for both short term and long term rentals)8) Raleigh (have invested in Charlotte and love NC but again very little knowledge on this area)Any insights or advice on any of this would be greatly appreciated.
