I have a local property manager that is co-host on the AirBnb listing that will continue to manage the property.

I'm finding that some of our inquiries are from locals who are for one reason or another seeking month to month leases.

Then from there you can call local PM's to get a better feel for market rents to verify your assumption for further due diligence 

Our current renter is likely to be renting for 4 years as she has kids at local school and 4 years would see them through to going to college.We have an old detached 1.5 garage that has functional automatic garage door, and just fits their car....not that they do it very often as I think it is a challenge. 

Others have said they'd only care if the appraiser pointed it out and that I should reach out to some local appraisers to see what they look into. 

I sold 20 houses last year in my local market (ASHEVILLE NC).

Did do the deprecation thing at least last 2 years though  Wife and I FEEL we need to sell in order to use the equity for a down payment in order to stay local.

There is more to this, but another thing I would encourage u do is ask some others for a local attorney that they trust.

Welcome to the forum,Attending local meet ups is a great way to connect with local investors in your area.

I can't see any local investors continuing on with the new laws.
