Interested is strategies for selling long term rental of 8 years.

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

So long as no active STR's within a certain distance can obtain a permit.

The tenant is responsible but in most cases the tenant has bad credit and already has collections/judgments that they’re not paying and they often don’t work or work long enough to garnish wages, thus they’re judgment proof.  

The headaches you get from a bad section 8 tenant can outweigh the benefits by a long shot.

So as long as the demand is there and the boundary is never expanded (which is very unlikely), then the supply is so low that real estate there should essentially ALWAYS be in demand.

What does cost me is a tenant who doesn't stay very long.

Quote from @Victor Verano: Mid-term rentals are actually long-term rentals in the eyes of the law and should be treated the same.

We have a long list of locks we support but that's the one I hear most positive comments about.

Most large land listings sit around a long time.
