Some benefits are restricted, particularly the rights to remodel or resell, per my understanding.

@Daniel Purcell with City of New Orleans being so restrictive, is there a neighboring City that seems to have less of an issue with STRs and is still fairly accessible to all the things visitors are interested in?

This is because sewer access is sometimes buried behind walls/floors.Questions for buyer agent: Why is the seller selling?
