If you need some connections, I run the most active group of small landlords in the city and have a network of connections that you could potentially leverage.

Do you have a personal connection to either of those cities/markets?

The City seems open to it as long as the contracts are structured the right way.

:)As for LTR rental terms, usually we sign a 1 year lease where tenants are expected to pay Electric and Gas if applicable, while the owner typically pays water/sewer/trash with the city. 

You can do the same to estimate rents for a midterm rental by going to the Furnished Finder stats page for your city.

The city would come flush the system, and said everyone needs to stop flushing wipes and pouring grease down drains, etc.

Hey @Nevin Wilkie. have you looked on the city or county's tax records to find the mailing address for the owner when it's different than the address of the property you want to buy?

Purchased for $139,999 using a mix of cash and hard money, we revamped it with modern updates, including a new kitchen, flooring, and fresh paint.The property rented for three years, generating steady cash flow of $450/month.

Buffalo, New York, has once again been named the nation’s hottest housing market for 2025, marking the first time a city has held this title in consecutive years.

Cities screw up all the time..
