Hey @Isaiah Cortez, here are the deets on STRs via the city - https://www.fortlauderdale.gov/government/departments-a-h/de...I don't have any real insights on the area, but do a search and you will find some details.

Hey @Mike Nelson, never assume anything about STR rules and regs.Here is the STR rules for Oak Park - https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/oakparkil/latest/oakpa...I would call the city and make sure it is legal for a specific property.Now regarding the famous person angle, sure it can add value to the property or as a STR, but for STR use, I would think you would need it to be in original condition with a lot of the furniture and knick-knacks that were owned by the famous person along with a bunch of photos etc featuring the famous person.If you buy a place that has been totally redone but was owned by someone famous but has no features or things that were theirs, then I don't see it being a draw. 

Follow all safety requirements your Insurance Company plus city and county require.This usually includes childproof access and alarms.

Miami Rental Market Update: Rents Drop $200 as Affordability Remains a ChallengeMiami has officially ranked as the second-most unaffordable city in the U.S., but there’s some good news for renters: local rents have dropped to a 3-year low, with decreases of up to $200.

Apparently now those investments are less interesting to city hall. 

At one point years ago, I toyed with the idea of owning giant apartment complexes in multiple cities.

I recently added new properties in a new city and posted a craigslist ad but got no response.

I have looked into Indianapolis as a possible out of state market given the strong market conditions and growth that the city is expected to see over the next 20-30 years.

Buy in a market not too far away, 30 to 1 hr from a decent city center where values are reasonable and a city push out with help your rent and appreciation. 

With the Chuckawalla Valley State Prison (CVSP) slated to close in 2025, do you think Blythe, CA would still be good city to invest in?
