My timeline for turning over vacancies is strictly four weeks, which is the maximum acceptable period between a tenant moving out and the arrival of a suitable new tenant.

These regulations are basically trying to prevent all unsolicited calls and text messages to people with whom you don't have a prior business relationship or permission to contact.

I also think that you should plan on looking for a place that doesn't have a lot of issues with regulations etc so you don't have to go that way.A HELOC is a good way to get started. 

The underwriting is strict, and your experience level and ability to perform will be scrutinized.

Access roads and if multiple are needed for each unit.City regulations and zoning.Impervious cover requirements or percentage across the whole lot.Drainage per units built. 

Good call on looking into rental restrictions early — many condos have strict rules, which could limit your options if you plan to rent it out later.

If a wholeseller is really thriving, they need access to OPM. that is why there are thousands of transactional lending groups because the demand is there. and with regulations changing, this will become more relevant. 

There is never an agenda, just a bunch of RE junkies drinking coffee and chatting about the market, local news/regulations, and helping each other find their way in the vast world of Real Estate! 

I would be interested to hear from investors in areas like Arlington or Dallas proper where it has really locked down on STR regulations and hear how their transition to MTR has gone for them. 

It's also illegal for cities to attempt to regulate fees related to screening or applications.
