I would say air on the side of caution.  

The air conditioning doesn’t work, the fridge is broken, and the property is far from "turnkey."

They built a pole barn structure, air conditioned it, strung up some lights and trendy decor and host baby showers or weddings almost every weekend. 

There are several STR's on AiR B&B that do not abide this; are they likely operating outside of permits or does the county make exceptions?

Many properties in Macon lack central heat and air which I feel is a "must-have" amenity in GA.

Affordability is about 1:3So yeah on the surface it looks like a big difference, but there's a lot of things not controlled for in the stats- There were a crazy amount of houses built in the years just after the war, so housing stock was easy to come by everywhere;- Homes had nowhere near the kind of features they have now - 2 car garages, dishwashers, OTC microwaves, W/D hookups, high efficiency windows, central heat & air conditioning, etc - all those doodads and niceties drive up the cost of housing;- Fewer mortgages were 30 year, so homeowners had to pay (relatively) higher monthly payments;- Rentals were almost exclusively apartments, so there was more supply for buyers;ETCI think these things tend to be more stories that make for good press but aren't really that grounded in reality overall.

If mold remediation is done by a handyman without air sampling or post-remediation testing, it can lead to issues during the sale.

Buenos Aires just announced plans to allow citizens to pay taxes using crypto.

For example, you may build a house that costs $1 million to build, but once it is finished is immediately valued at $1.3 million, so you created 300k in equity out of thin air which you can use to borrow against.
