After operating 1 rental for 2 years and another for just a few months, I just got notification from the code enforcement at my municipality (whom I had visited in person) that I didn't file a paper correctly and fines are possible.

On their website there is a spot that you can add your zip code to see the demand. 

The website is horrible, so many spelling and grammatical errors that you can't fix unless you know how to code.

Anything outside of criminal code  between ADULTS with their mental capacity INTACT is just that: a private transaction where two parties agree to exchange the goods at whatever price they agree to. 

On the 6th night, guest sent an alteration request to check out earlier, after 7 nights.

If he titles the house in mom's name by gift (no gift tax this year due to unified credit) , she has lived there for the right amount of time, can she exclude the gain entirely under Internal Revenue Code Sec. 121?

I did find verbiage but from another jurisdiction "Unavailable for rent means a unit whose owner has filed with the code official a statement signed under penalty of perjury that such unit is not offered or available for rent as a rental unit and that prior to offering or making the unit available as a rental unit, the owner will apply for a Residential Rental Business License and comply with any applicable administrative regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter...."

The owner agrees to pay the violations but I'm responsible to do the necessary post work which is to either remove the garages completely or bring them up to code.

Even if I were to collect the late fees it doest’t materially alter my properties performance and my tenants appreciate the flexibility in the very rare circumstances where they are late. 

The average price per land for urban infill going 6-12 stories high on a higher density product is about 5 million an acre up to about 25 million an acre. downtown market premiums I've seen at the highest are 1200 a sq ft. in columbus you can get land about 1.5 million per acre downtown at best price, sells for about 600 a sq ft max, very little competition compared to miami. tampa I didn't really look at too much because miami has 22 zip codes that you can build at least 6 or 8 stories on and just a much better landscape than other markets. tampa is a little bit bigger than columbus but in my opinion more of a suburban market. miami is landlocked and very limited so everything is in redevelopment. both are amazing opportunities but the barrier to entry is much higher in Miami with the smallest plots of land infill going for at least 1.5 million I would say in areas like Wynwood Norte, Wynwood, etc. we looked all over but prefer east of 95 due to the condominium opportunities. multifamily is very strong in both markets but the condo premiums make it almost silly not to do one from the start and the use of deposits versus a single asset lease up and disposition is a longer sales cycle than the condo buildings being sold out prior to completion.
