Does anybody have a good workaround for city ordinance restricting more than five unrelated occupants in a single-family residence?  

You can't do proper ARV without MLS access.

@Matthew Wright Check to make sure your town doesn’t have any zoning restrictions on how many units you can have in one building.

Sometimes condos have stipulations in their deed restrictions that go against doing short term leasing, so I would definitely get your agent or do the research yourself to ensure this isn’t the case at the building you’re looking at.

Coastal NC can be a great market, but it’s important to research local regulations on STRs since some areas have restrictions or require permits.

The village also had a lot of restrictions that made me not comfortable proceeding as a first time STR investor. 

Do you have access to the MLS for true ARV?
