I mainly bought the large house because I had 3 three friends graduating from med school and masters programs and were getting jobs in / near the city. 

Tricky, to get people to move in, it would need to be accessible to transportation, town...but the city has not accepted them so much legally as a living space.  

The property is in Pell City, AL and I was able to find this is a non-judicial state and potentially would not be tied up as much unlike a judicial process since it’s not going through the courts.ThanksDaria 

With years of experience in this unique market, I've had the pleasure of working with a variety of investors, helping them maximize their returns while providing unforgettable experiences for guests.The Poconos has seen tremendous growth in the vacation rental market, thanks to its year-round appeal, driving proximity to major cities, affordable property prices, and diverse attractions.

I would love to show you around our beautiful city. 

Backup plan, go to work for the city building inspections department or a third party inspector contracting for the county.#4.

Regarding liens and title searches...I think there are private companies you can hire to check title.What state and city are you buying in? 

Middle of city, shovel ready with electric/water/sewer/roads/entrances, etc. 

Also the "West End" (nobody used to call it that but I think they do now), residential area east of 27th and south of State I imagine would be prime STR location too.Garden City is formerly the trashiest area of Boise, and very rapidly on its way to becoming one of the hippest.

A lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in the Midwest because of the affordability and numbers making more sense.
