I had people coming to view the house tomorrow: postponed them because of this -- several were interested in a mid-month start date (we're in a university town - lots of movement!). 

What is "unnecessary" and "ridiculous" are completely arbitrary - what you view as an "unnecessary" clause about primary residency is likely very necessary to a bank that does not lend on investment properties under the terms of the loan you are getting.

My view is probably a fallacy as I have not factored in closing costs, home repairs, and the down payment into the equation.

Maybe if i was 65 and wanted to get away and retire but still meet people, but I viewed it also as not sellable and as you mentioned at this time someone could have bought a piece of land for $50k or less and dropped tiny homes on it and saved 50%.

These deals don’t really require bundled all-inclusive brokerage service, in my view.

Hello Vivian, there are a lot of opportunities to invest in Tulum downtown, the beaches are occupied only by hotels and restaurants, this is the best time to invest in a pre construction unit at lower price than the finished units with a difference of 25 to 30% bellow market price, check this website to view some opportunities www.tulumrealty.net

Need to be able to view, edit, and save changes.Unit / Lease Abstract View: Customizable view that allows user to select a given property and provides a menu for that property of all tenants/units at that property.

Garland has some pretty onerous rules for STRs and even requires a license and inspections at every lease turnover for LTRs which has put me off investing in the Garland/Mesquite market period.https://www.garlandtx.gov/DocumentCenter/View/15034/STR-Info...

As an out of state investor, I’m curious how management companies might view this type of strategy.
