Hey @Keagan Scott, so I don't have any insight into Gary, IN but here is a blurb -"Those looking to rent out their properties for less than 30 days (about 4 and a half weeks) will have to get a permit, pay a one-time $150 fee, and have a city business license.

I’d appreciate any guidance or tips to get started on the right path.

Some investors also use a business line of credit backed by their cash flow, which can help with future deals.If you’re planning to scale, maybe start stacking that cash for the next property or even park some in T-bills for short-term returns.

That is a great tip! 

Hi @Tyler Bolton I hope I can help clarify given I see a lot of muddled points of view on these matters online.  

The rules are more complex than we can fully explain in an online forum.

View it as a business expense like you do the mortgage. 

This owner found a free lease template online that provided very little landlord protections. 

Quote from @Zach Howard: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: If you are looking at properties in the US only on Zillow, and not seeing them in person (I know you are in Hong Kong), this is just an effort in futility because you can't underwrite single-family or small multifamily deals only online.

No.But you do see their website online, right?
