We have a team there that makes us quite efficient.

We found it about 7 years ago and have an incredible team there, which I can introduce you to.

Assumptions: specifically allowed in city ordinances, mobile home manufacturing in the area, or that someone heavily marketed that area as a retirement location in the past. 

- we are aware of the statutory requirements, just deciding whether the tax benefits would be worth it to us for the long term for a specific property - 

I would say that the value he brings is finding the deals, doing an initial diligence, having a local team set up for renovations/repairs/property management as well as knowledge of the neighborhood.

@Dylan Jeluso see if you can join a team in your real estate office to gain experience.

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. 

@Kevin Waymire I have bought and sold 5,300 units.What specifically are you wanting to know?

If you have specific questions about property management, I'll be happy to help!

There are many here on BP as well as many on Linkedin that you could reach out to and they all have forms to fill out for deal specific information.I think trying to walk into offices will not be best use of time.
