I think you've definitely helped me get clear on my direction.

Agreed with everyone here - You're headed in a good direction here.

It's a part of my self directed IRA.

The biggest mistake I see out of state investors make is relying on others too much for direction and guidance instead of doing their own due diligence and building their own team that they actually meet and interviewRelying on one person who alleges that they have a 'team' built already that you can use as well can be a costly mistake.

Send me a direct message and I will be glad to help!

@Kash Tacke I'm a big fan of ADU's in general especially here in the mid west, yes you could potentially be on the front of the wave, but housing density is the solution to the affordability issue, anytime you are investing with affordability in mind is a great strategy to me, and sound like there are some incentives or at least supporting winds form the local city, that in itself seems like it would be worth at least approaching an architect or contractor to bid up some plans or concepts to take tot he city.  

We ran into the same issue when we made our Costa Rica investments and didn't really find a good solution for a local mortgage there. 

I don't mind setting things up on platforms like AirBNB and VBRO and even setting up my own website for direct bookings. 

You CAN NOT contact the listing agent directly from Zillow, but you can look them up and Google them.

The first time they break rules (unless it is a direct danger to people/property) I have a kind chat with them and make sure they understand what they did was against the rules.
