Some areas are still relatively reasonable, but in the more desirable spots, people are still overbidding like crazy.What kind of property are you looking for—a primary home or another investment?

You'll also need to avoid environmentally restricted spots, including wetlands, protected habitats, and prime farmland.

Hey @Justin Brown, what @John Underwood said is spot on.SLC has been restricting STRs for a long while now and it isn't going to get better.People who have STRs in areas where they are not allowed are breaking the law and will eventually pay the price.Having said that, you should check and see if there are certain areas where it is allowed in some way and that is why they exist there.

Spot on!!

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

I called a lawyer but they didn't even know as it was too specific of a situation.Want to avoid putting myself in a bad spot and make sure I handle ESAs well in the future.

The 250k+ loan amount is usually a sweet spot in pricing. cheers! 

Just curious if you find it makes a difference updating your photos on a somewhat regular basis or tend to leave the STR photos the same once you have somewhat found a sweet spot?

Honestly, it seems like you’ve got more skin in the game than I do since I’m just getting started as a bird dog, but I really admire your approach.I think your focus on tax-efficient strategies and building a reliable team is spot on.

Another option is to put an electronic deadbolt on the front door with a non-locking door knob.
