My suggestions:* Requiring code compliance and safety equipment is absolutely valid and should be part of the regulations* Requiring owners live within 15 miles is not necessary since poor hosts whether they're local or distant will violate the 3-5 warning system and earn a suspension.

I'm a local broker and investor and manage 100+ investment properties.

We have been working in the affordable housing space for some time, and this allowed us to partner with the local community and provide a housing solution they need as their city continues to expand with new jobs they are successfully bringing to town.

And a local resident is usually very helpful.

Its market-ready condition and strong local demand made it ideal for a fast, profitable transaction, aligning perfectly with Partner Driven’s strategy of securing high-yield properties in promising locations.

I highly suggest getting to some local meetup groups...here is BPs list:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a full list of the chicago meetups that I can share with you too if that'd be helpful.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Depending on the salaries of the new jobs they may also price out the local residents on new home sales which would further drive up the price.

In one case they used a notary at the local US consulate.
