What a small world—Arnhem is such a beautiful city.

Future enhancements include the planned Silver Line rail alignment with nearby stops, as well as potential commuter bus services, pedestrian paths, and bike lanes.The development benefits from proactive rezoning by the city, transitioning the land from industrial to mixed-use urban development.

Hey @Mike Nelson, never assume anything about STR rules and regs.Here is the STR rules for Oak Park - https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/oakparkil/latest/oakpa...I would call the city and make sure it is legal for a specific property.Now regarding the famous person angle, sure it can add value to the property or as a STR, but for STR use, I would think you would need it to be in original condition with a lot of the furniture and knick-knacks that were owned by the famous person along with a bunch of photos etc featuring the famous person.If you buy a place that has been totally redone but was owned by someone famous but has no features or things that were theirs, then I don't see it being a draw.

The FHA rules/regs (in particular the FHA self-sufficiency test) are applied the same across all markets, and I know for a fact that in rural communities across the country, and big cities that are not particularly desirable places to live, it's not a deal-breaker, I am not commenting on those areas. 

A more viable approach could be a straight 75% cash-out refinance—but only if you’ve invested in a city with strong, sustained population growth.
