It has a finished attic that is not one of the BRs and do not believe the finished attic would meet today's construction code (the property was built in the 40s/50s). 

There are times where codes are updated and older buildings are required to retrofit, but often that is not the case.

I’m not sure how that works because the timing is strict maybe someone else will answer.

This is not a traditional bank, it is a lender who works strictly with investors and we were unaware of this oversight.

However, my days of manually scrubbing county databases to get code violations lists or manually generating probate lists are behind me.

I've taken so many personality tests that I mix up results and codes and forget which one applies to which.

Long story short, this would be a strictly financial decision.I'd love any thoughts.

Qualification for these loans is a bit more strict, but if you plan to personally occupy the property for at least some portion of the year, and to retain ownership exclusively, then this might be an option for you. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

To my knowledge they don't have any codes prohibiting STR's on the books *yet*, but it's a marked possibility that they will attempt to ban or regulate them in the not-so-distant future.So my question to for y'all is this: Is the fact that the political future of STR's in Fort Worth is uncertain reason enough to move to other markets, or is it a golden opportunity to get in before the door is slammed shut and have less competition down the road?
