Weather differs depending on where properties are located and even snow accumulation within the same geographic area will vary year to year.

Are the requirements different if it is a LTR instead of STR?

Quote from @Patricia Andriolo-Bull: As I'm down to the wire on making my decision to keep it or toss it, I've decided to keep it but for different reasons.  

There is a difference.$300k cash flow in 20 years is an ambitious but not unrealistic goal. 

I had listed a 10-unit property in Cincinnati, OH, and found a buyer through an agent from a different office.

That is different as I live in MA and we don't do that here.

Here are five dangerous provisions to watch for in an Operating Agreement:Dangerous Provisions to Watch:Authority to incur debt without investor approvalPower to make loans to other entities/projectsAbility to cross-collateralize with other propertiesPermission to use investor capital for other venturesCommingling of funds across different projectsWhy These Are Potential Ponzi Indicators:• New investor funds could be used to pay existing investors• Project-to-project lending can mask poor performance• Cross-collateralization puts your investment at risk for others' failures• Commingling enables masking of financial problems• Lack of project segregation enables fraudulent schemesProtective Measures to Look For:Strict single-purpose entity requirementsProject-specific bank accountsDebt limitations and investor approval requirementsProhibited related-party lendingClear fund segregation requirementsProfessional Best Practice:Request bank statements showing separate accounts for each project.

Neighboring cities like Cathedral City and La Quinta have different rules—some allow STRs, some don’t, so knowing the regulations is key.Properties in golf course communities, resort-style neighborhoods, and mid-century enclaves fetch premium nightly rates.Occupancy rates remain strong, even in slower seasons, due to the area’s popularity for snowbirds, golfers, and weekend getaways.Pro tip: Investors are finding great STR opportunities in areas like Desert Hot Springs and Indio, where regulations are looser, and property prices are still reasonable compared to downtown Palm Springs.2.

It can be time-consuming and challenging if you try to do everything on your own, so partnering with a trusted team can make all the difference.

It's a quirk that very few areas of the country have.Both the city and county have their own areas that have Section 8 residents, but the Housing Authorities that handle the programs are different.
