I’m looking to take advantage of an FHA loan and the 2-out-of-5-year rule for my first investment.

:Quote from @Jimmy Lieu:Have tons of examples of deals that hit the 1% rule and positive cash flow.

HOWEVER, you can still find deals that hit the 1% rule and positive cash flow.

Many just ignore the zoning rule though.

Asking in the correct forum will get a better response.Read the RULES!

Whichever loan that you decide to use, the interest will be tax deductible due to interest tracing rules.

@Chris Mahoo, rule one of investing: if the investment only makes sense because of the "tax advantages" it is NOT a good investment.  

As with all regions, the Oregon Coasts' counties and cities are tightening their rules (and quantities of allowable vacation rentals) and there are a few adjustments to last year's regulatory landscape.

Stairs are the only way to get in, no grab rails in the bathroom, ramps that are too steep, etc.From what I've read, all commercial businesses/buildings (including ones before the ADA was passed) have to comply with the rules, unless it would be outrageously tough to fix (like installing an elevator in an already built building).Are all these local business just not complying and taking the risk, or am I missing something?
