Great for personal residence but not for scaling.  

I currently own a 1 bed 1 bath single-family house as my primary residence.

Hi Penny i'm actually an investor that resides in Odessa as well and my realtor actually just sold a duplex recently and in that area they have several occupied duplexes and some for sale.

The behavior is a bit off, but not surprising for a mom & pop landlord.We tell our residents exactly what we need from them for the application. 

Now investors, especially the newbies, are chasing returns by going after higher risk investments - many NOT really understanding the true risks.Many more investors will be losing money and choosing to liquidate real estate - which will be buying opportunities for the better prepared investors.

I was just on their website looking at the permit process:CityofSac-STR PermitLooks like 90 days max until you get a conditional use permit but still reading as it seems a little unclear:A short-term vacation rental may operate from a location that is not the operator's primary residence for a total of 90 days in a calendar year.

House hacking is a fantastic way to start, but preparation is key.

Let me know if you plan to make it so I can let the owner know and he can make sure they are properly prepared.
