Hi Todd, Dayton based here.

I am based in Virginia and licensing requirements here seem manageable.

I am based in IL just outside of Chicago.

I've heard that Butchertown, Highlands, and Old Louisville are hotter areas and am guessing that proximity to Churchill Downs and downtown are usually a plus (especially for STRs).I'm casting a wide net here in just doing some preliminary research to get a feel for different areas of town, but would love to get connected with some others who have had some experience doing some of these things and have a good lay of the land and are connected with reputable contractors. 

That might be a way to start, finding recently sold land on zillow, back trace agents to sold listings and tell them you might have some land coming up soon and see if they have buyers.

I’m based in Atlanta, GA, and currently exploring passive real estate opportunities in the area.

Is my CoC return solid, or do I need to adjust anything based on my market?

If you own the business and the land, I would keep them together.
