As of this writing, 20 states and 106 localities have passed bans on discriminating against source of income (usually, but not limited to, Section 8) as well as a myriad of other restrictions.What Happened in Kansas CityKansas City, where I live, was the most recent to pass what its advocates call “the strongest source of income discrimination ban in the country.”

Rodeline Paul,Join local investor club  there a couple in Broward and Miami Area. 

Got myself connected with local agent, local property manager, and even learned some of the local politics during my visits.  

Was the ADU construction approved by the local agency?

Since you lack a local network, condos or townhouses with homeowner associations might be beneficial for easier management.

Hi @RonnieI would suggest utilizing the BiggerPockets local meetups tab to network and find out who is RSVP'ing to the events in Miami and targeting those specific individuals given you're out of state. 

The area has been a mecca for vacation rentals for a long time, and the local economy and service professionals are completely entwined with the industry.  

If you haven't already, local meet up groups are a great way of networking and finding local investors who may have a need for your services.

There should definitely be options for you using DSCR which many lenders will count your STR income either based on projection or your rent roll.Also, check local banks instead of brokers.  

I would have paid another experienced local investor (an unbiased party not having anything to do with the sale of the home or selling me services) to do a thorough video tour of every inch of the house before submitting an offer.
