There is no point in looking at a home that can not reasonably obtain a permit.

With only that information, I see no reason not to.

Quote from @Jason Burkart: Quote from @Theresa Harris: Whatever you do, I'd keep it in your name if you are the one paying for it, in part for some of the reasons others mentioned (if at some point she goes into a retirement home and needs to use her assets to pay for care).Are you able to pay for her home for 10-20 years? 

The reason why, you're likely going to have issues with raising rents on your newly acquired tenants.

I will not expand my business to areas without having a good team first. 20 to 25% is reasonable if you come across a good PM near you, there is a lot of work that goes into STRs 

That way you'd get local contacts and there's no reason for anyone to hoard their insurance agent so they should be forthcoming.

I think that's one of the reasons that I didn't post very much on BIggerPockets, it's because I was just trying to keep my head above water.But now it's 2025 and things are stabilizing and I have a much more positive outlook on the future.Let me know if any of you had a couple of difficult years recently and how you were able to turn it around if you did.

My PM asks for ID as step #1 for these reasons. 

It's certainly possible all of those individuals and others are just working on burnishing their interests so people come to them to buy stuff, but in general if you're anywhere reasonably active here without trying to sell people on investing in you, you're not likely to be a pitchman.  

Looking to construct a duplex at a reasonable cost but also quality for long term durability.Thank you!
