I wish all the STR owners luck.

The land has slightly increased in value (by like maybe 3-4% over 3 or so years) but the value of the structure I'm pretty sure has gone nowhere. 

That is on one of the largest arterial streets in the city, massive traffic count.

If no one but owner-occupants can STR... then that should mean opportunity for owner-occupants who STR their primary residences in many jurisdictions.- Large remodels or construction projects (Live in Flip) can be self-managed, worked on directly, and the value add, after 2 years, is largely tax free up to certain limits. - Many areas around the country allow for ADU Construction - house-hackers enjoy similar benefits to remodeling projects by being naturally on-site for ADU construction. 

I recently watched a video on social media that mentioned the way he was buying properties and yielding the benefit of the sellers low interest rate is having the seller put the property in a trust and then purchasing the trust.

We have the drive to achieve whatever we put our mind to, the skills to create a very unique and desirable space, and the finances to back up our investment.

But the perception of difficulty is greater than the reality usually.

Do you know the laws of the land?

They don't want the company to be potentially liable if an owner doesn't follow through with the inspections and repairs.After the GFC, we needed the capital investment or they would have had to tear down more houses than the thousands that they already have.

Yes BP is the right place.
