We were two weeks from closing, and I received a call from our attorney stating that the title came back incorrectly.  

@Drew Sygit @Gregory Schwartz From this HUD map it is 17 States/DC, and another site says 22 States which may reflect some more recent updates.

You say that you are investing out of state.

Hi everyone, What type of weather damages do you see in Kansas City?

Hi Lina -- I'm based in Dallas but wouldn't know the laws for the city and county of Kyle, Texas.

I'd be happy to connect if you are interested in exploring the Kansas City market =)

For example, I was just at a networking event where the owner of a very experienced property management company shared a story about how he branded an apartment complex in Plant City, FL to The Henry Plant Apartments (or something to that effect). 

I think I can open another personal checking account at the bank I already have and it'll be under my name but i'm trying to buy out of state rentals with an LLC I own.

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. 

Assume for a moment its close to max tax bracket ie. nearly 49% (Federal + State), roughly $17K.
