The City of Portland, and Multnomah County are more restrictive than most of the state for instance. 

Its never going to work if you want to buy in the low income areas of a city and hire management from outside.

Like @Collin Hays said, it is being driven more by neighbors tired of poor STR owners not keeping things sorted.We only look for places in vacation areas with a long history of owner driven STRs vs big cities and the like.

Doesn't cause trouble for you/neighbors/city/police.That's pretty much the sum of it.

I can’t imagine what kind of things the city ask for turning silo into a house haha

Once you know how the land is allowed to be used by City or County zoning, start working to a "highest and best use" mindset where you find out how the deal can be quickly turned into money by the end user.

Then post something in the group saying "I am an investor looking to buy properties in (insert specific cities)."

A more viable approach could be a straight 75% cash-out refinance—but only if you’ve invested in a city with strong, sustained population growth.

I have referred a loan out of state based on NOI, cap rate at purchase, room for increase income and purchase price vs market value.Maybe I didn’t articulate the intent of the post as clearly as I hopedFor anyone who has bought multi family out of state, “what are gives you the warm and fuzzies about a deal”:Obviously not cap rate, but maybe vacancy rate,  Cash on Cash ,GRM, IRR, Unlevered free cash flow, Cities over 250k?

Having lived in IN for 8 years before moving to Austin TX, I believe this city offers great opportunity now and much potential.
