Let's say the city cites them for violations and they rack up penalties and fines. 

That said, I wanted to share my story about how I found an out-of-state property, got it rented, and set it on autopilot.BackgroundI’m in my late 20s, living in a very high cost of living city and working in tech.

West Valley cities like Buckeye and Avondale, East Valley spots like Apache Junction and Mesa, or growing areas like Casa Grande and Maricopa are worth exploring.

Ask the city/county for their STR rules.

Every Week I scan the MLS, navigating cities and towns in South Florida that are friendly (and not friendly) toward short term rentals.

I have a client in Kansas City, MO that had to make the EXACT same decision a couple of years ago.

Each city is different. 

It’s located in Midwest City Oklahoma, rent for this house works easily be $850/month.

Waco Texas is a known city that has a very good Private College, Baylor University.

@Jesse Streng Great that you want to invest in the Detroit area but I encourage you to come to the city and spend a weekend here to get a feel for the market.
