Now there’s a new reason to discourage it.

@Pollyanna Gomez I have a great contact for you that specialzies in sales in TJ his name is Luis, I will send you a PM now

You are doing all the right things right now in terms of gathering great information.

I’ve been a licensed agent for 8+ years and have managed rentals here and there on a smaller scale but now fully prepared to build a business out of it. 

I ordinarily doesn't do smaller jobs, but he said "Right now I would...there's no new construction right now."  

We'd love to hear about your own experiences and tips for making a Co-Living business successful.

I'm heavily involved in the new bills being written to impose additional regulations on the islands STR's (now TAR's).

I used to work for the VA and I know for a fact that the VA loan will allow for additions, if nothing else, for handicap access and disability related navigations of the property, to include stairwell modifications, handrail additions, etc.This is usually only for unique cases of disability though, IE severe injuries and/or disabilities.

I live in miami florida now and I moved for larger scale developments here because of the net migration but columbus ohio the economics allow for that. existing inventory has been tougher and at the pricing inc columbus you may as well build new because you can build new less than replacement costs in a lot of the markets downtown. it's about being in adjacent downtown neighborhoods where property values and rents are higher. land values are the biggest driver of how well you can buy land to develop followed by permitted uses or rezoning applications. 

Hey @Patrick Zepeda, I hate to be a negative nelly here but that is a tough area.We have looked there extensively and now that STRs in the Bend city limits are severely restricted, I would be a bit wary of that expanding to the county.Sunriver will always be a STR haven but prices are even more there.
