However, downsides include regulatory restrictions on bank lending, many institutions that restrict concentration and geographies, and other headaches and issues that arise when dealing with a slower-moving bank.DSCR loans are the option that has completely changed the BRRRR lending landscape in the last few years.

I personally like the exit plan options and alternate job creating industries of college/mid sized towns as long as the regulatory environment is favorable. 

As long as you stay 100% business-purpose (i.e. no live-in flips or anything sniffing of owner-occupancy), the NMLS/regulations do not apply in most states and you will likely be good on the regulatory piece (as always, there are exceptions and you should always consult with a pro/research)

The WEC has had to fight with HITS and USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) the national governing body for equestrian sports, to be able to host hunter/jumper horse shows due to mileage rules.

Before you lower the price too much to get some warm body in there, consider what you are giving up.

Pros:Stable Income: These facilities often sign longer leases, providing landlords with a more stable and predictable income compared to traditional residential rentals.Higher Rent Potential: Because these facilities generate income through the services they provide, landlords might negotiate a higher rent than standard residential properties, reflecting the commercial nature of the tenant's business.Lower Tenant Turnover: Residential assisted living facilities tend to have lower turnover rates, reducing the frequency of vacancies and the costs associated with finding new tenants.Social Contribution: By renting such facilities, landlords contribute to addressing the growing demand for assisted living and support services, positively impacting their community.Property Maintenance: Tenants in this sector often maintain the property well to comply with regulations and ensure a comfortable living environment for their clients, potentially reducing wear and tear.Cons:Regulatory and Compliance Issues: Facilities must adhere to strict regulatory and compliance standards, which can involve the landlord in complex legal and zoning issues.Higher Insurance Costs: The nature of the business might require additional insurance coverage, potentially increasing costs for landlords if they are responsible for carrying this insurance.Modifications and Upgrades: Meeting the specific needs of an assisted living facility may require significant property modifications and upgrades, which can be costly.Market Limitations: Should the lease end or the facility close, the specialized modifications made to the property might limit the market for future tenants, potentially requiring substantial investment to revert the property for standard residential use.Operational Oversight: Landlords might need to monitor the facility's operations more closely to ensure compliance with lease terms and local regulations, requiring more hands-on involvement than traditional rentals.

STRs can offer high rental income and flexibility, but they come with management responsibilities, regulatory challenges, and market fluctuations.

No regulatory concerns, I would hope anyone managing properties for others are complying with their state requirements. 

People (and regulatory agencies) are a lot more attuned to anything that compromises the agency relationship than they were 30 years ago.
