I had a client use one for their house hack in salt lake city area and it worked out well!

Cities and communities are also cracking down on people using homes for this.

I checked the city's website and the plots fall into their "Low Density Neighborhood" district.

Purchase price: $144,900 Cash invested: $13,000 This is a charming 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in Bossier City, LA.

Hey @Isaiah Cortez, here are the deets on STRs via the city - https://www.fortlauderdale.gov/government/departments-a-h/de...I don't have any real insights on the area, but do a search and you will find some details.

I get that there are delays and behind the scenes, dealing with late suppliers, the city authorities being difficult, but I thought for sure I would be further along than this. 

@Nicole ShoafLike you, we live in the Santa Cruz area but have investment properties out of state near Salt Lake City.

In Metro Detroit, and I'd think in most Midwest cities, investors really have two options:1) Buy Class B and either put more down to cashflow at closing or deal with 1-3 years of negative cashflow until rents increase.

Overwhelmingly though, the weather and weather related things were enough to offset the negatives.So, I figure a much more interesting question would be Why do people live in New York City?

The other option for value add is to do it yourself by approaching potential sellers directly via the phone, snail mail, or knocking on doors on main street USA.
