Hello all, This will be my first post on BP, and will serve to pose a question to overcome my first hurdle on the road to owning and home and gaining beautiful equity.

I rent out on a 32+ day basis to avoid Chicago red tape and building restrictions.I own real estate in several states (strange that I'm still renting, I know!).

The involvement of onsite management, often seen as a potential red flag, can lead to the property failing crucial qualification tests.

Ultimately the Red/Blue crap doesn't matter, it's about freedom.

The investor seems genuine and I could not find any major red flags about him online.

We advise landlords to require two main criteria:1) Household income should be at least 40x the monthly rent.2) Applicants must have a credit score of 680 or higher.It's also important to review credit reports for red flags like rental collections or high credit card balances.

And even if so, I'd imagine there would be LOTS of restrictions and red tape as to what you'd be allowed to build and its appearance - No?

That's what's beautiful about this business. 

We've been looking primarily in the Red River Gorge (KY) area and also in the Hocking Hills (OH) area.

LA cash flow is certainly deep red.
