Let's assume there is no CO obtained immediately after the sale (will do later after repairs are done), and no township or local-level inspections requested.Is the township automatically notified by the county of the sale or is there some mechanism by which they would learn about the sale and update their records, other than by the buyer telling them about it, or applying for a CO?

STR PotentialWith $40K in annual revenue, reaching $1,000/month in cash flow will require some adjustments.

I highly suspect that DTI is not an automatic disqualifier.
