These increases are normal and expected as time goes on as with any new construction projects, especially in today's dynamic environment.  

The way it will work is  we will have all say so of who comes in & out of our house, guidelines and regulations, and there would be no outside party with overriding say on who comes, goes, and stays. 

Unfortunately, I imagine most areas servicing section 8 tenants in New Orleans are currently a similar environment.

For a first-time homebuyer, I determined that the BRRR method via the FHA loan direction was the best financial strategy in my situation.Due to the nature of this loan, the guidelines and regulations to have a solid appraisal and to gain an appropriate value for the property would be a great challenge for us all, and is noted as a obstinate issue in the real estate business: underappraisals.What I found unique about Damon was that, he maneuvered around countless obstacles, from executing an extremely accurate and detailed comparative analysis that eventually brought the final desired value of the home, impeccable negotiation skills that saved me thousands upon thousands of dollars, and what seemed like a never ending supply of ideas that he came up with that passed the rigorous FHA inspection.

I strongly advocate moving properties to be smoke free environments, it solves additional problems for me in California where tenants might be eager to smoke things other than tobacco. 

So I would know that although house rentals are not part of the regulation today, they are likely to be added in the future.

Ah, I'm curious how the STRs are going for you given all the regulations up there, which is a bit surprising since I feel like the Poconos is definitely more of a regional tourism area than having much of its own economy.I would absolutely be interested in a meetup.

Some states regulate how much of an increase you can give.

- Contacting the mortgage company to see who owns the mortgage note and inquiring if they would sell the note to me (not sure this is even possible due to mortgage regulations, etc.).What other options, if any, can I explore?
