Make sure you also ask what their lot rent is so you can have a better idea of what the home rent is. 

Rehab estimate 60k.ARV 180-185k.Having some trouble with lending because the margin is so slim.

One of the stairwells on the larger side is not up to code for renting so instead of charging a higher price for 2 bedrooms we only rent it as a one-bedroom because it is so small and thin going upstairs.

But it is a killer price, which also leads me to believe the reason why it is SO cheap is because it is not buildable, and past owners were unsuccessful getting re-zoned.

If that is so and you ONLY advertise on Airbnb and do not accept any direct bookings then you don't have to worry about it; Airbnb will take care of it for you.But if you advertise elsewhere or take direct bookings from guests (always the preferred method) then you do need to collect and remit the required taxes for your property's location (city, county, state).I always recommend Avalara MyLodgeTax service to my clients who are new to the STR business.

As my backyard is so hot and expensive, my plan is to look for out-of-state rental properties, which I can buy and hold.

If you wait until end of summer, you can get them on clearance.You didn't say where the property is so linens can be up in the air a bit.

We don't know if we'll do a remodel or sell as is.  So
