@Joy Daniels I have one of my STRs in that market on Anna Maria and each “city” on that 7 mile island has different STR rules.

If you choose this method you will need to learn SEC money-raising rules.

Yes, Oklahoma is a great market to consider, especially for multifamily properties:Affordability: Oklahoma City (OKC) and Tulsa have duplexes and small apartment buildings within a reasonable price range.Landlord-Friendly Laws: Makes property management less stressful.Stable Cash Flow: Properties in Oklahoma often meet or exceed the 1% rule, providing consistent rental income.Growing Economy: Both cities are seeing population and job growth, boosting demand for rentals.Tips for Getting Started:Do Your Homework: Use tools like BiggerPockets calculators to analyze deals and ensure cash flow.Focus on Neighborhoods: In OKC, check areas like Yukon, Edmond, or Midwest City.

Ask the city/county for their STR rules.

I own a recruiting agency, and I always do my best to support my candidates, getting them an extra $30k-$50k salary if possible, and making sure they're going to a better place.

Whichever loan that you decide to use, the interest will be tax deductible due to interest tracing rules.

In my experience, finding cash-flowing deals on-market can be challenging here (1% rule can be hard to find) but not impossible.

Nor will you get a Constable to go with you if you have not confronted the issues ahead of time......unless you encounter physical violence or a threat to your life, I highly doubt you will get any support in giving an eviction notice to a tenant.  

Best of luck with selecting your market—there's a wealth of knowledge and supportive investors here to help guide you along the way.

Encore is within Reunion, there are a few different communities inside and all have different rules.
