@Anthony Sigala that "Rule" was created for mostly Class B properties BEFORE the Great RE Crash of 2008-2010.Values after the Crash dropped so much, that it could also be used for Class A rentals.Values are now more than their pre-crash highs, so the rule now only applies to Class B & C rentals.How are you identifying Class B & C submarkets in your area, so you can properly apply the rule to the right rentals?

From the beginning of the discussions though Buncombe County has said that the regulations will only apply to STR owners who apply for a permit after the application window closes, meaning that you should have nothing to worry about if you buy soon enough and then apply for the grandfathering during the window of opportunity.

The capital stack especially in CA is VERY complex and typically involves everything and more that you mentioned.

To have a successful STR I HIGHLY recommend listening to this episode of a podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-market/id161508...Once you listen to this, and any highly involved STR operator will agree, you will find a lot of the fundamentals are lacking in Kissimmee or you have to have deep pockets to hit those.I won't spoil the episode, but if you listen to it (and anyone out there that does) feel free to DM me afterward and I'd be happy to talk details tailored to your situation on if you're on the right path or maybe I can help.

A few months go by and unbeknownst to me the escrow account had now drawn negative which triggers the lender to no longer apply what’s considered a “partial” payment to them, given that I’m now paying less that what’s due given the escrow increase required but not relayed to me even though I expected it at some point.Last month I’m on Zillow looking at the value of my properties.

The option is slowly opening up for foreigners, but some restrictions still exist.Now, the fideicomiso has an administration fee that must be paid annually, regardless of whether the foreigner applies for a loan or not.

Without my wife's direct involvement, I think some of our homes would have struggled to stay afloat.   

Many real estate agents dabble in property management without fully understanding the complexities involved, making it risky to work with them.

People are buying stolen identities off facebook groups and using that info to apply as someone who has good credit and making fake paystubs.

Depending on where the property is and the lender involved, and what he has told the lender, and so on and so on, you handle things accordingly.
