While this trend is already common in downtown areas, will it start reshaping more traditional suburban neighborhoods as well?

Louis, Missouri, and based on the numbers, it seems like it could be a great fit for Section 8 tenants.I’d love to hear from anyone with experience in the St.

The issue is that the lender  is looking for comps for a duplex, where 2 units were packaged together and sold together, but no comps exist for that in this neighborhood since all townhomes are being built and sold individually. 

I believe it fits your parameters. 

@Toby FellowsYou are correct, you need to ‘hang’ your license under a broker in order to practice real estate, and most brokerages require you to become a member of the National Association of Realtors as well.While you are preparing and taking your courses, contact several brokers and interview them to find out who might be a good fit.

There are a couple in the direct neighborhood I can find on various sites.

Now let's be real, yes housing values are up overall in the city, but they do vary by Neighborhood.

Minimum of 3 night stays, limited number of STRs in a particular neighborhood etc.You need to get the license and pay the STR tax.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.
