STRs in most areas make up less than 5% of the housing but they consider it low hanging fruit.With that in mind, I wouldn't be surprised that the new city council would start to look at restricting STRs.

If it's not necessary to tie up that money, then hang on to it.  

Also I wouldnt hang my hat on CBS news for if I should or shouldnt invest in a location. 

Do you know where you're hanging your license? 

(I targeted only off-market deals, but that will certainly change now)I'm just looking for an investor-friendly brokerage to hang my license in the DC Metro (MD, VA, and DC) now.Thanks to everyone, particularly Wale, for chiming in on this post.Best of luck to anyone who decides to dive in and be an agent as well.

Maybe, just maybe, you can hang around long enough to say no to enough songs, to enough opportunities, you reach the rare air of becoming expert in a certain niche, industry, market and skill.

I have physically prepared as much as possible, fingers crossed I'll get the hang of it quickly..

The duplex has been hanging on the market for a while, likely to the aforementioned leases being in place.My questions are: Would this be an opportunity you would look into buying, and why?

If not, hang up and move on to the next one.

It would also be helpful to hang out with those that have done this type of exchange and learn from them.
