Also, if you did end up wanting to keep the property, the laws there are landlord-friendly and cashflows are still strong.

Although these people are friends of mine I need this house to be mine.   

Wanted to get started in real estate and I had a friend who did well with STRs so I chose that route.

This bill also prohibits the development of small subdivisions and prohibits ministerial lot splits on adjacent parcels by the same individual to prevent investor speculation.

How many individual owners and how many are part of a group?

This individual has successfully been doing property management through a company that has supported him in addition to his off-line unrelated real estate duties that he successfully continues to manage.

They are not your friends. ;-)There are plenty of better opportunities to chase pre-foreclosures elsewhere and there eventually will be a lot more, in better places.

If three or more unrelated individuals want to room together, each individual must make at least 2x the monthly rent.

When looking at states to invest I would look at their governing policies and how landlord friendly they are or are not.c.
