After many problems over the last couple years, I really want to just let the situation take its course and get a new business owner in there.

You are aware of the hazards of getting involved in S8 housing as a landlord, right?

I never give out my contractors name for renovations because I keep him busy enough and he also has many other projects.

My wife and I drive through there occasionally going to Pittsburgh and we've noticed a lot of new businesses to catch the new activity. 

CRedit Union or personal business line of credit at a lower interest rate would be best!

Again, that's all fine and good but the numbers have to work which is why I was hoping to speak to someone with first hand knowledge of owning a property or properties in the town without an axe to grind like the Seabrook sales people.On the issue of negative STR regulations roughly half the houses in the town are in their rental program currently so I don't see that as an issue in the future as an investor as it's baked into the town's business model and not likely to change.

My observations: it's harder here than "down the hill" to find good contractors, tradesmen, etc, or at least the good ones here are too busy. 

Part of the space would be used by the owner/operator for his business (I am an investor in his business) and we would lease out the other space. 

We would ultimately not want my parents involved long term so they can recoup all the cash they have in the property. 

It's a GREAT community to be involved with and some serious powerhouse women in the group. https://stpetegirlboss.com/In Tampa: Multifamily & more, they meet up in Ybor, Tampa the last Tuesday of the month.
