I also don't think it's common to convince the appraisal district that your property did not appreciate at all, unless you can back it up with pictures that your property was damaged or is in worse shape that it was the year before.

@James Miller I have noticed the same trend with clients starting the LLC on their own or going to legal zoom, then calling me soon after or right before a deal closes to fix their LLC and then create the operating agreement for them.

From there you'll be able to start eliminating what does and doesn't work for you and that will help to shape your buy box. 

I want properties of a similar size, shape, and condition.3.

I have a feeling this trend will prevail in blue/purple states, not so much in red/business friendly States that are averse to overreach and overregulation by the government.  

Their country is in a much worse shape and so many of them invest mostly overseas.

Your home IS in a location that could make it a good STR/MTR given proximity to attractions and it's in beautiful shape so I don't think the operator is pulling the interest/opportunity out of their a**.Attorneys would probably argue with me, but if their LLC is going to rent it, I would still get the individual on the lease or at least a co-signor guarantor agreement so that you have the EIN and SSN for purposes of evictions and collections. 

How often does a property is being listed withing same HOA and price trend. 

I am currently an Engineer that makes about $70k but my true passion is real estate as I have a few real estate investments and knowledge on market trends.

All of these trends are positive on a local level, the cause it tough for sure, but these small towns are benefiting.
