For your question, as far as I understand, the city of Binghamton doesn't allow STRs, but a lot of people do them anyway.

It is already off putting that I could not be allowed even to use a tent or trailer, RV, mobile or tiny house even temporarily.

I allow pets on a case by case basis that way I have the ability to say no to a pet I do not want. 

I invest out of state in Pittsburgh from DC and self-manage everything, but it's taken me years to establish the right contacts, develop seamless processes etc. that allow me to handle everything remotely with confidence.

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

I just couldn't find deals that allowed me to be all in after purchase and rehab for no money out of pocket like I used to. 

HI Jewell,If you were to use FHA again, this could trigger the FHA 100 mile rule + 1.75% upfront fee, however with a few exemptions Indeed FHA allows you to put 3.5% down payment to invest in 1-4 units.

Apply the 70% rule to determine your maximum allowable offer, then negotiate and get the property under contract, ensuring your agreement includes inspection and financing contingencies.Arrange professional inspections to uncover any unforeseen issues, using these findings to negotiate concessions or confirm your repair budget.

You can also consider silencing your phone and only allow known contacts to ring through.

You didn't say anything about whether the lease or local laws actaully allow you to do this.
