For every 1 landlord trying to do it right you can bet there is 1 that doesn't' care, just putting a body in.  

Hey @Caleb Reits - I highly recommend still mentioning Grand Rapids in your title and in the body of your post.

Some places also defer licensing to the relevant industry regulatory body (etc: EPA for HVAC).

Maybe if the land was given to you, and the insurance and taxes were very low, and it was right on a body of water?

How do different governing bodies classify this differently (bad government jokes ahead)?

This means that only a governmental body, like a state attorney general, can sue over HIPAA.

Next item to know is there is several different constructs for Common Interest Communities, and while most just use the blanket term of "HOA" to define the organizing body, the legal construct varies wildly.

No body better than person in the mirror. 

I know of folks who have LTRs near bodies of water (Mystic, Goshen etc) and I’ve looked into it but not nearly enough to provide any sort of advice.

Above everything I have already stated, it's also home to The Ohio state university, headquarters for L-brands (Bath and Body Works, victoria secret, and Pink), White castle, Wendys, and the new Chipotle headquarters is being finished up downtown.
