I don't see how any city/state could possibly enforce requiring proof that all work done in the house was permitted.

If they do, they go to a higher level of care such as a nursing home (higher level of assistance with ADLs) or a Skilled Nursing Facility (called a SNIFF, where medical care is provided).The ALFs I'm working with are all running at 100% capacity and have waiting lists, because there are simply not enough beds.A sharp operator will find an unused municipal building - especially a school - and work with the town building department, code enforcement and fire inspector to get it up to code. 

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.

Not sure that they'd even truly enforce this if it was the case. 

This loss could reduce your taxable income on a dollar-for-dollar basis, especially if your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is under $150K.However, the debt must be bona fide and a real, enforceable obligation.

If you see more restrictive measures being enforced on STRs in that area, then it might not be the best long term option for your portfolio.

Whether or not the state actually enforces that in all situations is another question.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen this - both in working complex investigations in law enforcement and in dragging loans across the finish line to the closing table.

One thing to note is that property taxes are much higher, and the city enforces rental inspections more than any other market I am aware of.Having owned 100 unit rental portfolio's previously in numerous states, I think that DSM, and suburbs have incredible upside, but the key is management.

But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt.
