On May 24, 2018, the New Orleans City Council passed motion number M-18-195 creating an 9 month Interim Zoning District for certain types of Short Term Rental licenses in particular zoning districts. 

In my experience, after doing some favors for agents in my office, they threw me referrals for smaller deals they don’t have time to handle.

If you add value to them, they’ll be happy to return the favor.

Motion detector switches,low flush toilet, led bulbs, coin or no laundry,No a/c, extra insulation in attic etc.Well aware of up front costs just curious if anyone had explored the r.o.i.

This isn't always the case, so I would encourage you to talk to your lender about this before moving forward.One strategy I see many clients use to hold onto favorable rates is by implementing land trusts into the equation.

I'm already pretty set on going this route, but am unsure of how to present the opportunity and structure the terms (to ensure it's a favorable arrangement for all parties). i.e.

If a landlord has a tenant that is "bad" they will want the tenant out and will stretch the truth to make that work in their favor.

He just did me a favor to get me a loan.  

Seems like it would work in their favor. :)

It's also motion detection, etc.To control my sensors and lights, I use Samsung Mesh WiFiI use it so that I can extend the Automation Hub throughout the building which is generally around 3k to 5k sqft.
