Basically, more than a certain amount of STR and MTR in the same building were considered a hotel and I would have had to have 24/7 staff on site.Were you able to get around that with the local municipality?

Evan,  As a local broker, I’ve assisted many clients with the entity transfer process, often referred to as a "drop and swap."

I've also signed up for New Orleans REI meet ups in the upcoming weeks in hopes of making valuable connections in the local market.
