Hi does anyone have experience with providing direct STR stays (so not through Airbnb or VRBO) and charging, collecting, and remitting the local Chicago hotel tax?

Once you know how the land is allowed to be used by City or County zoning, start working to a "highest and best use" mindset where you find out how the deal can be quickly turned into money by the end user.

I would try to tie those experiences and skill sets to your REI path.  

Also, important to confirm they will be warrantable condos for end buyers otherwise it will be very difficult for end buyers to secure financing and thus purchase the units. 

I have met a few folks recently who are active in that market and I am planning on following up and seeing what their experience has been.

I've not yet invested in my first property, but I plan to purchase my first one by the end of 2023.

I'm interested in knowing your opinions, experiences with this strategy and any advice.

Check out FilePlace, where user-created forms are available for free.

They ended their lease early.

Wondering if anyone has experience there?
