Get the license it's pretty easy to avoid the men in black suits.

Soon, there will be a ton of posts below from agents in Columbus and Cleveland to "help" you, but you already know where you want to be.I wouldn't be thinking STR for Ohio unless you are doing woodsy, which can work, but the table stakes are high on those (swimming holes, saunas, game rooms, hot tubs).

So, my guess is this is an illegal ordinance and that the city knows its illegal and they just want to use it for a few years to suit their purpose until it gets struck down.

My main goal in pursuing the person was not to recoup for damages, but instead to hold him accountable in some way.Not wanting to throw good money after bad, I went the DIY approach to filing suit. 

I researched the areas best suited for long-term rental.

If you recall also those with swimming pools in Los Altos hills that were on a hillside some of them the water came out and flooded into their homes.. it was quite random.. my kids were walking home from grade school alone ( Back in those days it was OK for kids to walk a few blocks by themselves.. )  The poor folks though on Hwy 17 connector through Oakland got pretty much squished when the top deck fell down that was very sad..

This is a cozy, private guest suite tucked right inside our home.

If you want rental property, you could take that equity and buy several houses better suited to renting.Selling now makes sense because you can also avoid the capital gains tax because you lived in the property 2 of the last 5 years. 

Pair this with the entire Google Suite and you have what you need for property management.

However, not all are well suited for the beginner route, especially if you don't have the lending ability or funds to get into them.
