We are based in Milwaukee WI and have tenants from Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee and it's pretty much hurry up and wait. 

She will probably game the system for the next 6-12 months, but that's what you get buying a property with a non-paying tenant in place, in an anti-landlord city.

City won't let you rent out basement, but owner can live in basement.It may suck for 1-2 years, but then you'll have gained so much knowledge you can do better on the next one!

Hi @Gil Canfu definitely there are many places in DFW where you can invest in a good rental property.I am not sure where you are at, but if self managed you should start in cities with good proximity to where you live.All the corridor between Princeton to Saginaw has good deals but there are many others things to consider as I mentioned previously.

Hey @Raven Ye Mahar, so you should call the city and make sure but if you are renting it long term, you shouldn't be on the hook for any of the occupancy taxes.Nashville has a STR Occupancy Tax - https://www.nashville.gov/departments/finance/office-treasur...In the end, I would just call the city and get the deets that way. 

LA City here~How do you market your rental to insurance companies directly for temporary home placement?
