I can't speak to a short term rental in these areas but I do have a few specific areas worth mentioning.New England is a popular destination for skiing.

I would also look at flood zones specifically in and around the Houston area.One of the biggest factors to look at, as mentioned above, is what the houses cost in the neighborhood compared to what they are renting for.

Hi everyone, Looking for help in better understanding Chicago's ST regulations on 2-4 story units.

DSCR loans/lenders should uniformly take the lower of actual or in-place as a pretty firm industry standard underwriting guideline. 

Let's revolutionize the industry together, one investment at a time.Excited to be part of this community and eager to learn from you all as well.

I also avoid highly regulated cities like Seattle. 

Learn the fundamental basics of the entire process including: researching/finding properties in your market, buying it, rehabbing it, selling it (all specific to your market).

What the regulators care about is intent. 

If possible, consulting a local real estate agent or financial advisor can provide personalized advice based on the specific market conditions in Chicago.

Rarely do I feel the need to comment on the state of my industry.
