While buying existing property or pre-construction is a pretty safe bet (assuming the developer is honest and properly financed like everywhere else of course), developing is another story.

And within that realm, STRs/Airbnb are often your best bet for cash flow.

It wasn't until the 3rd agent finalizing things that they said the policy does not cover STR, and that they do have a policy that covers STR.Ultimately your best bet is going to be to find a local company. 

A property manager will be your best bet.

With that said, the odds of your house getting by a tornado are very low.  

Oddly, the day I moved into my own house 3 years ago I said to myself, 'someday I'll own that house".  

I spoke with a couple of attorneys who supposedly were familiar with off-shore purchases, but turns out they were both (what are the odds?) 

Your best bet would be to go back to the building department and ask them for clarification.

Agree with others that cold calling is your best bet.

It sounds like Lowe’s might be my best bet!
