Sometime next week, I am going to put a link on this forum with a video explaining what my software does and I give the software for free providing I don't get banned due to suspicion that I am trying to sell a service.I am always looking for individuals who would like to come to my office and start a club where we can work together as a team to help people get started in the business and for the experienced investors actually work together putting large deal together.

While the Act does not prohibit housing providers from appropriately considering criminal history information when making housing decisions, arbitrary and overbroad criminal history-related bans are likely to lack a legally sufficient justification.See: https://www.hud.gov/sites/documents/HUD_OGCGUIDAPP...

If you can go just outside a city with tough regulations (or one that is about to regulate or ban) there are a lot of amazing opportunities that go overlooked.

I was looking it up on YouTube and I saw the clip saying that Mpls. reinstated the ban on discrimination in June.

In short: Take your time crunching the numbersReally get to know the area by staying in a few STRs yourself to find out what does/does not work as guestsInterview a ton of cleaners (they will make/break your STR)Talk to as many realtors & officials as you can about current/pending STR regulationsThe last thing you want after finding that dream place is to find out a pending regulation just passed the day after you closed banning or placing additional burden on an already high overhead sector.Good luck in the hunt and feel free to reach out with any other questions along the way!

@Troy Leinster Jersey City is currently working on an ordinance that will effectively ban Airbnb in the city.

Hi Used to work for the ( Hedge Funds/Venture Capital firm you talking about ) I was a Investment Analyst, basically the 3rd guy up the ladder, like @Jay J. says it could be tricky you could solicit money i believe threw direct contact with first step of the ladder the equity/debt Recruiters, the owns looking for deals, but you'll run into some bumps getting to them since the keep there contact private most of the time, you cannot solicit threw the information emails the websites provided but you can say you would like to speak to somebody in the company that may help you with some questions, and wait they might respond or they probably won't. second of all the transaction volume has to be in chucks of 10-15M minimum and they are considered type D investments that are not wow, don't peak there eye, but if you could bring a cluster project into the table once you get a seat at the table this means like group of projects 3 or 4 that add up to be 20M+ you might catch there eye, but as i just read your last post you think this might be too much and it is, but there is what it the business we call Family offices this are type D equity or debt investors that are maybe one step above your local hard money lender and does might be the kind you should target, or the garage ban hedge fund which in the industry is a capital firm with less then 250M in AUM, this are hard to find but they will work with smaller investors i hope this was helpfull@Rick Wagner

.. it’s “is there any talk of limiting or banning STRs in the future?” 

All it takes is 1 person to suggest banning them, and anyone who isn’t renting their property will very easily just go along with the suggestion because it doesn’t affect them personally.

Rent/eviction/foreclosure moratorium, which we don't have a set date when our landlord friendly politicians will lift the ban.
