Run down, dead lawn, trash in the front or sides of the house, broken windows, multiple none running cars in the driveway or yard.  

Yes, there are great e-books out there on how to do this, and the instructions for team-building make sense, but there's a lot of dead bodies out there. 

I have looked into this a little and it has been a dead end.  

Good morning BP family, it has come to my attention that having an Airbnb or short term rental property in Philadelphia will be more difficult going forward since the City's zoning department has issued new regulation...

However, without confidence, I'm dead in the water. 

As an aside I think that d.c. number is likely a small sample size issue, we had 87 single family home sales in the entire city last month and that's out of 616 total sales (which is down about a 3rd from the 2022 peak) while I actually think there are some amazing deal's in the city right now as prices are probably 15-20% off peak in the city, the city is as dead from an investing standpoint as ive seen it since i started investing in 2015 and frankly just living here my entire life, city seems as dead as since at least pre gfc.

@Isaac Lane at risk of beating a dead horse, just continue what you're doing by being active on here and you'll meet a lot of great people.

especially if it dead ended at a WY llc.Back to your question... 

If you are dead set on that I would suggest one of two things, build from the ground up or be open to it either taking time for inventory to become available or that it may look different like an in-law suite or two houses on one lot. 

And yes they do enforce these laws.Bryan - Bryan has little to no regulations so really the only thing to watch out for are HOA rules and possible dead restrictions.
