So that’s what I did.

Yeah, let's connect over a call.

So that's a silver lining at least.  

I'd like to invite you to participate in a group I host called THE MTR Connect.

Would you be available for a call?

Hey @Mike Nelson, never assume anything about STR rules and regs.Here is the STR rules for Oak Park - https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/oakparkil/latest/oakpa...I would call the city and make sure it is legal for a specific property.Now regarding the famous person angle, sure it can add value to the property or as a STR, but for STR use, I would think you would need it to be in original condition with a lot of the furniture and knick-knacks that were owned by the famous person along with a bunch of photos etc featuring the famous person.If you buy a place that has been totally redone but was owned by someone famous but has no features or things that were theirs, then I don't see it being a draw. 

I do try and tweak pricing just so it sees that there is active updates on the listing sites.

Each program is a little different so it just depends on your situation and income.They are quick and easy though once you get your certificate you can work with any Bank or Lender that is approved to use those DPA's.

I'm a local realtor and investor, so I’d love to help you find the right property and navigate the market.

Everywhere I turn all I see are pitches for affordable housing and the same (not so) compelling arguments regurgitated by syndicators, capital raisers, brokers etc. for the investment strategy....strong returns...lower volatility....supply (huh?)
