First thing to do is check with the city or county to make sure the ADU would be permitted to be a STR.

There's a great monthly meet-up called Space City REI that would be a great resource for you - next one is August 21!

Tybee and Garden City

Hi everyone,I'm going to be building a portfolio in Kansas City and at the start, the properties will be multi family targeted at MTRs.Does anyone have recommendations for legal counsel / prep on contracting for those? 

Also, our property is 10x the size of most in the city at 1.75 acres.

@Joseph Braunthis is not unique to Baltimore, i think this is a feature of many cities, including most rust belt cities. 

If you have to go through the utilities companies for city hook ups or gas or electric?

Do you actually work in the city?

I was thinking I'd buy an acre of land that has city electricy and water available, and pay that off so that it can be used for collateral one house at a time.  

I of course could get the property re-zoned but that is a long, tedious, and expensive process.I called the city twice about this and both times they told me that with R2-1XL zoning I can have 3 ADUs, 2 detached and 1 attached.
