I did hear about this for LA City and County landlords.

Indianapolis is a great city and there is a ton of growth happening. 

@Nicole ShoafLike you, we live in the Santa Cruz area but have investment properties out of state near Salt Lake City.

As you may be aware, the City of Asheville (about 2/3 of Asheville is in city limits; the rest is under county jurisdiction) has had strict STR regulations in place since 2016.

I'd do what you can to keep yourself uninvolved with it....but still help your Grandma of course..A trip to the City (Planning/Zoning/Building Depts) will give you some valuable info.

I am from California, but lived in Peachtree City, Georgia last year (renting), and currently live in Germany as an Au Pair.

What city/market is the property in? 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.DM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

Of course I am partial to Kansas City.

There are lots of lemons in the various center city areas.
