I like what Wayne said, look up the zoning laws and get in touch with the city to see if you could build without splitting the lots.

Hi Everyone, looking to connect with folks who run STRs in the Hamptons (Long Island New York).I have a couple and would love to chat!

Thanks for investing in our wonderful city!

I am reading that Salt Lake City is a harder city to crack in the STR game...

-Ask how many contacts there would be for a list in these counties: then tell them the counties in your city with this criteria then lay out your criteria:-Start with out of STATE absentee owners.-50% equity or more-I get homes with values between 50K and 225K.

This suggests some volatility in the market.Investment Considerations- Long-term Potential: The presence of a dedicated economic development partnership and active city government suggests efforts to promote growth, which could benefit real estate investors in the long run.- Property Management: With companies like Champion Investments managing a large portfolio of properties in the area, there seems to be a robust infrastructure for property management, which could be beneficial for out-of-town investors.- Market Knowledge: Local real estate companies like RE/MAX Select, with their 18 full-time agents, indicate a strong local real estate community that could provide valuable market insights.In conclusion, Shelby's real estate market shows potential for investment, particularly given its price growth and strategic location.

Smaller/cheaper city problems I guess.

Talk to your lender and the city, but why not demolish the garage and build another garage with a suite above it? 

Again, could be above market value depending on how badly they want it at that time.Cons:-The clinic could shut down if the city/state passes new laws.  

Our city is really inconsistent so appreciation values tend to be more street to street.
