Quote from @John Mason: Good MorningLet us say I buy a high end STR  around a million dollars and after a few years STR is banned in that location, what would be the strategy to rent it out? 

When I buy an occupied property, I introduce myself to the tenants on the day of closing; then, I inspect every unit within one week.

I’m based in Fayetteville, NC, and I’m looking to get into buy-and-hold real estate investing.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

-Have you thought about potentially buying a house-hack property?

I am confident that THEY will not ignore bad and/or possible illegal behavior !!! 

Meanwhile, Partner A’s Spouse is willing to transfer their 50% share to the Children but wants to retain a steady monthly income from the rental properties.Key Facts:Each rental unit currently generates $550/month, but market rates suggest it could be raised to $850/month.The Children will buy Partner B’s 50% interest using a bank loan at 7% interest.After the purchase, the Children plan to pay a minimum of $1,500/month toward the loan while holding excess cash in a reserve account.There are 3 properties.

Buy & Hold is still one of the best long-term strategies in 2025, but like any approach, it depends on your market, financing, and risk tolerance.

Most of the time, I think buying a new property pencils out better than the cost of an ADU.

Example, if you buy a home at $300K at 6.50% with 10% down your payment is $1706.58.If you wait for a lower rate 5.99% but the home increases to $325K at 5.99% its now $1,751.81.
