I'm a little hesitant to get into the city of Syracuse. 

Hi BiggerPockets team,I am a rookie US real estate investor searching for financing options for my first deal.Personal ProfileCitizenship: IsraeliI do not have US citizenship or a long-term visa.Investment GoalsLong-term rentals in good B/B+ locationsLow-maintenance propertiesKansas City, MO/KS, or its suburbsI am familiar with what https://lendai.us is offering, but I am trying to find other alternatives.Thank you!

Supply continues to exceed demand throughout most of the city (with a few exceptions)2) Your HCV strategy is certainly the hot thing right now.

I'm sure it's a little more efficient in larger cities, but my market requires up to 60 days to get approval.Lower your expectations with Section 8 tenants.

@Al JeciusAre you in City of Flagstaff or Coconino County for zoning purposes?

Cities and states have enforced this policy for well over 50 years and it always stood up in court.

Here is a video that runs down the basics - https://s-media.nyc.gov/agencies/specialenforcement/01-Legal...There is also a prohibited building list - https://www.nyc.gov/site/specialenforcement/registration-law...Here are some more info overall - https://www.nyc.gov/site/specialenforcement/registration-law..All of this makes STRs in the city pretty tough but it certainly not impossible.

thank you for this, because locals always have the better pulse for the city than anyone else can or will. 

You'll need a contact who lives in Philadelphia for a rental license now to put down their contact info for the city.

I checked the city's website and the plots fall into their "Low Density Neighborhood" district.
