I love the flexibility they offer for traveling professionals, military families, or folks in between moves.My main questions:Have you noticed increased demand for midterm rentals in this area, particularly from military personnel at nearby bases or healthcare workers at local hospitals?

He is our local expert realtor and real estate investor!

@Robert Kline, I would start by talking with your local building department. 

I think you need to find a good local agent, network with investors(local meet ups, FB groups, etc) and learn more to dial in the gameplan. 

I've been studying different real estate strategies and would love to understand more about how the permitting process is evolving in that area.Did the realtor mention any specific changes in local ordinances, or was it more of a general observation based on market trends?

I’d appreciate any feedback from those who can offer advice, but I’m also curious about what specific type of attorney or local resource I should reach out to for guidance.I’ve seen references to the Garn-St.

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

Attend local meetups, analyze at least five deals per week, and connect with investor-friendly agents to position yourself for success.

Zero in 2024 in Huntsville - which is precisely why we bought zero LTRs in 2024 locally (bought one out of state, and bought a local flip property and one small local commercial property - slowest year since I started REI in 2017).
