If we become heavily restricted, what chance does the rest of the DMV have to get their own regulations that make sense?

I personally feel landlording in Indianapolis is pretty easy as far as restrictions go.  

If you do budget that much, the you will easily hit your profit target.There are currently no restrictions in Lewis county and STRs work there, but there is always discussion on them by the city.

While it’s an affordable entry point with low maintenance, you need to watch out for high HOA fees, rental restrictions, and resale challenges.

As with most municipalities and jurisdictions, the evolution of the AirBnB market has spawned regulation and restrictions on where, when and how a STR can operate.

No, it is inside of an HOA neighborhood but the current regulations only restrict rentals under 30 days stays.

Lots of cities have restrictions..Arlington limits to a fairly small area of town, Ft.

In-town properties are significantly easier to permit but also have some density restrictions.

Have you asked if there are any deed restrictions on the property?

Important things to look for: if you want to STR (you will make more this way) then no rental restrictions, if you plan to MTR, 30 day min works, anything longer doesn't.
