Now if it was in Pigeon Forge or somewhere that has a massive visitor demographic and STR's being the name of the game, that risk is mitigated.

It screams "I have no goals in life and watch TV most of the day". 

The issue with the low down payment loans for this strategy is that you have to get a screaming deal to make it work, and the FHA loan by its nature is NOT intended for screaming deals. 

Additionally, I have qualms on the assertion that parking/traffic is an inherently negative attribute of STRs, again, because it applied without recognizing how an owner occupant utilizes the property during their routine (maybe they have 6 cars...maybe they have deliveries scheudled every day...maybe they choose to throw house parties for their family and friends once a week).2) Density (as proposed): Wow...this one screams slippery slope and significant impacts to investors.

I was finally what people screamed about on a certain radio show that I've heard riding along in the car since I was in middle school. 

If the media and these crop of crazies can scream “orange man bad” all day every day, I can quietly ignore their unconstitutional demands. 

Hello all, thanks again for the input....I've never been under any impression that this is a screaming deal - it's meant to satisfy the 1031, avoid the taxes and buy us some time.

While some here my scream BAD IDEA in my market, and my class of tenants, and my situation, this works.

After rereading I don't see anything that screams "snowflake" but perhaps I am blind because they are my words.

I have even thought about a mooring as many of the residents/visitors travel there by boat.
