This is a Maryland Historical Property, zoned for residential high density, with specific limitations on its usage due to its zoning.The property is massive, offering 8,276 square ft of space, including 5,445 square ft of finished area, and it features a substantial driveway.

While I have made the property substantially better, and in turn am collecting good rent, I am limited in what I can do going forward with respect to ROI, and there are always expenses that can be made/issues that come up.

I think most locals are aware of the history of STRs proposals/cases in Portsmouth, Laconia’s existing restrictions limiting non-owner occupied STRs to resort/shorefront only, VT's local option tax that allows a 1% tax above the state's existing 9% tax, Portland cap on STR permits and increases tied to inflation, and it's also probably a good idea for folks to understand NH's Senate Bill 249, which proposed a "ban of local bans" around STRs and basically died on the floor(?)

The first thing I had noticed from watching LoopNet over the years and limited research was that dealing with commercial brokers appeared even trickier than residential.

With your income and time limitations you could also consider syndication investing which are much more passive and give you a place for your money immediately while you dip your toes in your first solo deals so your extra savings can work for you while you learn to acquire more properties on your own.

(my wife's uncle got turned away from a large hospital in Dallas, overwhelmed/understaffed, and died that night at home from Covid) Governments are just people like us doing the best they can with limited information.

With my current salary I can only borrow 300k and it will give me limited directory in the market I’m looking at. 

Purchase price: $1,450,000 Cash invested: $2,000,000 Sale price: $2,300,000 300+ lot RV park that is located outside of the city limits of Addis at the intersection of Hwy.1148 and Charles Ory Road (about two miles from Dow Chemical on the West Baton Rouge side of the West Baton Rouge/Iberville Parish line).

Using services like those will cost you deals because of the poorer data and limited data sets they offer.  

@Kaias BlancoI will share with you some advice I got when I was about your age… maybe a few years older… I’m now 54… and this advice has served me well through the years; and it sounds so simplistic:   “You are where you are because you choose to be there.”What that means is that the limits as you currently see them are self imposed.
