Hi @Kenneth P Ford,I noticed there were a lot of responses of “messages you” so I’m not sure if that is solicitation, but in effort to help you and other reading this - I’ll share experiences from friends in the Dayton market.

Quote from @Christian Gibbs: If you can't find long-term tenants in the winter, you even less likely to find short-term renters.

if your doing a senior project I would suspect your best and most cost effective landing solution is going to be a local community bank that loves real estate.. in my experience most will want 50% down on the dirt and a ton of experience and a really strong balance sheet.Myself I always pay cash for the dirt this makes finding a lending partner much easier.

I have a lead on multi-family deal that should cash flow at least 1k/month, probably more.

Maybe you could compromise by finding a property that you can live in comfortably but also has rental potential (like a duplex).

You are AT LEAST 10X more likely to do something personally to get yourself sued than your property is.

new construction homes everywhere. many people waiting on the fence. once the rates drop its going to get crazy again.

First of all- how much is this park worth to you?

@Sandee SampsonA construction attorney would be who to contact but you are going to spend a lot more than $7000 in getting this resolved against a builder.Also let’s say you win, the courts could also say you didn’t pay for a retaining wall which is needed so it’s a betterment to the property so you would still need to pay for the wall and they would be responsible for some soil etc.

I think it's pretty clear it disincentivizes new construction or encourages landlords to find ways around it.However, I do believe we could do better in areas for encouraging new construction with zoning reform and other tax incentives.
