I was just on their website looking at the permit process:CityofSac-STR PermitLooks like 90 days max until you get a conditional use permit but still reading as it seems a little unclear:A short-term vacation rental may operate from a location that is not the operator's primary residence for a total of 90 days in a calendar year.

These requirements are posted on the municipality websites and you can look them up or call the municipality to find out what's required.

I sent a few "connection" requests out this morning, but did not do any copy/paste nor did I link to any websites.. 

Another way is to check out this website.

As you begin your REI journey here is one tip I have for you:Use this website as you are trying to narrow down the places you want to invest in. https://www.areavibes.com/Its awesome because it gives you a "total livability score" & you can compare different zip codes & streets to others. 

I can send a million articles, but i encourage you to go to maricopa.gov in addition to the city websites where you will see all the development going on here at a micro level. 

I'm currently building out my foundation (website, SOP's, etc).

Are there any local meet ups or websites on where to find more people who have a moderate level of experience meaning they are  somewhat experienced but still looking to collaborate and network with more inexperienced investors like myself.

Grant Cardone (fraud) Brad sumrok is like lifestyles, I like Joe Fairless his website syndicationschool.com is free and well done enough then you can guide yourself and go network without paying 30-50k to join a BS program
