This was news to me as I have done this before with no issue and this is just now showing up.

Doing a little research, I'm starting to uncover some of the local laws (mainly from https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politic...)Right now I'm tracking a $25 registration w/ revenue commission and obtaining a conditional use permit.

@Steve Vaughan When you're communicating with sellers, how do you "break the news" that you're an investor and an owner-occupant?

@Cassandra Staffieri this is the latest news on the Nola STR climate. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theadvocate.com/gambit/new_orleans/news/article_9cbb3e40-c75e-11e8-82fc-dfda324cdedd.amp.htmlI would be patient and stay tuned if I were you.

I will definitely keep that into consideration. and Jason that is most definitely good news.

The good news is that you’re taking steps toward wealth.

I don't know that I've ever met a 1st gen African LO, but I've met 1st gen LO Russians, Latinas, Brits... and to the extent that African accents are associated with "Nigerian Prince" schemes, note that the overwhelming majority of LOs doing shady things circa 2004-2007 had accents identical to what you would expect my accent to be based on my profile picture, so you certainly shouldn't assume that I'm not shady based on my accent any more than you should assume someone is shady if they have an accent that sounds African.

The great news is that either option is a win, but I'm curious to see what Bigger Pocket members think is the bigger win.

Good news is that FHA offers some great options that can wrap in rehab costs with a very low down payment (3.5%).
