Since it was over 12 months with my HML, I ended up taking the property under my name with a 30-year conventional loan.

I just started using it and so far the owner info matches up with the county tax info.

For any investors in the group, take a peak at #10 Greensboro/High PointIt's an interesting choice of verbiage to look at "median" sale price YoY because 10% feels like A LOT on the entry-level/investment inventory, and more of what I see in the high-end resale and, specifically, new construction inventory that tends to swing our avg's way up in the macro.Completely disagree that rent will be 0%.

In suburban Chicago, historical significance or celebrity ties might create a niche appeal, but they won’t necessarily drive up the home’s market value in the same way as location, condition, and local comps.For a short-term rental, though, it could be a great marketing angle—especially if the person is well-known and has a strong local connection.

does NAR take this up at all..

They would be putting in some money and their service as sweat equity, and we would be putting up money and my wife’s services. 

Example, buying a vacant lot from a neighbor and simply explaining that someone else will be on the contract in a few days is not easy.
