Forward thinking communities like Portland or Olympia may be allowing one off projects but if you google ny times gibibg homeless homes you shoukd come up with thw article (im on my phone)  note that Olympia only did it to give houses to homeless and they located it on marginal land adjacent to an industrial park.  

However that area, and everything around the airport, is going to be seeing major, major growth in the next decade.

They have a limited number of short term rental permits, however if you live on the property and rent out an adjacent unit, or if your property is zoned commercial or mixed use, you don't need a permit.

However, I would be learning an entirely new area to a city that I have never actually been in, outside of layovers at the airport.

I'm still trying to anticipate where airports and other infrastructure, plus job growth goes.

There is very stiff competition from adjacent new complexes around old town.I second the advise to get an agent.

The Urban context reflects a more pedestrianoriented environment that requires buildings to be located within a short distance of adjacent public streets.

Kept rental near Denver airport that i paidv$185k for.

I am just an airport maintenance person but  I predict a big number of state funded projects that may not get funding. 

And soon It will have a rail line between Union station and the airport.
