Well- whatever I might have said that docked points from my Influence rating for my first posting, I did earn 4 points for that last posting-Anyway, best to you!

Always remember when a neighboring city bans STR's, it can have an influence on other municipalities.

This has the potential to completely wipe out the economy if some calming influence isn't brought to bear.

It's been a huge influence on my personal business, and I like sharing it with as many others as possible.

I am going to be doing a series of principle reviews from How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

@Quincy Jones I would think your immediate circle of influence is the best place to begin, ie friends, family, co workers, acquaintances, etc.

Once that's done, the heir(s) can sell you the house.Perhaps by contacting the fiduciary early, you might be able to influence him or her to let the heirs know that you can help them convert real estate into real cash...Executors named in wills, on the other hand, are often heirs themselves (e.g.,. one of the adult children of the deceased).  

My general recommendation would be to avoid buying individual condos unless you are willing to be on the HOA board and influence policy - too much risk otherwise that the building could introduce rent restrictions. 

Capital drives cycles because it influences capitalism.At this point in the cycle, the general real estate market is not overbuilt in most markets.

In your opinion, is it a good idea to allow public transportation access to influence where you choose to buy to rent?
