And unlike HOAs most are not going to flat out ban STRs, but rather try to collect taxes/fees from those that want to run them.

I just saw all my insurance policies come down for the first time (renewal last month) and my condo association is expecting a flat or decrease at renewal.  

A friend has a two-flat investment property, with both units currently rented out.

As a San Jose licensed property manager and investor, a 5% flat fee can be reasonable depending on the property. 

with the market flat, contractors booked up, materials expensive and tremendous competition for deals it is very, very difficult for a new investor at this time.i've used hard money and also bought with cash and then financed the rehab.

Sometimes even with referrals and trying to vet an operator they still fall flat when it comes to execution.

As someone who started buying with buy and holds back in 2005 and didn’t start wholesaling until 2013 I believe wholesalers who operate in integrity and with character bring a lot of value to sellers and buyers in the market.however Having the resources to be able to close  on deals and then if we want wholesale them has been invaluable to our business. 

It varies from county to county on how they handle it and some give great exemptions or a flat reduction to value. 

Growth is generally to the southwest into/towards Wolfforth and some to west towards Levelland (yes, it is named for how flat the area is).

I’d also ask how it’s structured - typically they are tiered (5/4/3/2/1) but I’ve seen some flat prepays as well, meaning the % of the penalty doesn’t decline during the prepay period.
