Was it hard to obtain a permit?

@Shane Dennisonis your end goal just to find off market deals to buy for yourself? 

I would not sell unless you have another place to move that is basically paid for.

Management has to allow you to STR, and not change their minds in the future.

HI we are Canadians and do a lot of creative financing  in the US more then willing to share how we do it with anyone who wants to chat

@Matthew Lamoreaux I think if you can find a rental, long-term or short-term, that cash flows well in today's market then this should be a factor that should be viewed as icing on the cake and should be used as a potential solidifier of a deal.

I understand that it may take time to build the capital for larger deals, but I’m committed to making it happen.

Usually, we keep the renewal to a discount to market rent to incentive people to stay and not incur vacancy and turnover costs, but that discount depends on many factors. - How good of a tenant are they?

Would it be helpful to you as a landlord have have not only the day to day automated but also have guidelines and quick access to local regulations (where there is constant change) in your assets markets to help you stay compliant and avoid potential lawsuits/fines?
