.), regulations, and anything else pertinent to the business. 

I was very strict with how I ran my business, I treated all tenants the same, and I gave no one any exceptions but still always had a smile and built rapport with each tenant over the years.

Strictly a website?

No regulations in Fresno yet, but city council is considering it I believe.

Some non-bank lenders are able to provide 30 yr fixed rate on 5-9 units if it's strictly residential.

If you were strictly chasing rental returns you could find a better deal (but you probably wouldn't want to live there).

Stay away from rent-regulated housing, which is typically over 4 units.

Some places have very strict rules on the licenses/certifications needed prior to renting out a property, as well as the disclosures that you are required to make to new tenants.

This isa Federal Banking regulation, not your banks decision.

I like this area because it's really set up for STRs and most local policies and regulations are favorable to rental owners.
