Since when should any local govt have the right to tell someone they can't rent or lease their property or other items. 

Welcome to BP~ I want to encourage you to look in your local area.  

💪 Start by networking with local investors and wholesalers to find deals, build relationships with contractors and lenders, and analyze numbers relentlessly so you don’t overpay.Stay focused, take action, and don’t be afraid to learn as you go! 

If you are considering looking in that location, I HIGHLY suggest you connect with a local expert like @Josh Green

I'm quoted in this article 8 months prior to the settlement predicting just that.https://www.axios.com/local/washington-dc/2024/01/06/nar-ver...

Check out some of the local chicago events posted on BP:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I personally, knew I wanted to go more into real estate so took a third of my high paying W2 to join a tech focused real estate startup and it was the best thing ever did!

I'm currently looking for a flip locally - within 30-45 minutes of Lancaster, PA. 

OP ask your larger local commercial real estate office for some recommendations. 

I'd consider having a conversation with a local agent to see how the pre-fab vs self built will affect your property value.

I would also look at reaching out to local realtors in your areas of interest that specialize in land deals to send you new listings before they post them.
