@LaTrell Ray - Several high profile, multi year, VC backed rental arbitrage companies recently went bankrupt because they couldn’t weather the storm of covid and/or other industry forces including increased local taxes and regulation (licensing, crack downs on zoning violations for stays less than 30 days).

In my original lease, running any business on the property was strictly forbidden.

Apparently the mayor has fast-tracked permits and all the regulation stuff in an attempt to bring jobs/money to the town.

Since BiggerPockets is the largest community of real estate investors, you can surely guess which side of the spectrum most agents on here fall in ;)Our agent marketplace launched on June 1st and we are looking to partner with local agents across specific markets - Jacksonville just so happens to be one of them.If you, or anyone else, is interested in learning more about our offerings (for strictly agents) please send me a PM and I'd be happy to schedule a call!

Lots and lots of regulation.

Over the last 10-15 years I have seen the number of products and more consumer goods offered.If I am looking strictly for lumber, hardware, drywall, basic cabinets and appliances then Lowes is a good place.I have been disappointed many times when looking for plumbing supplies, electrical supplies, and even moldings, floor coverings, etc.In our area Home Depot has a much better supply though often they are a little more expensive than Lowes.

I really would have a FIRM strict criteria to NO EVICTIONS!

If you're trying to raise money from Chinese investors you should check into Regulation S.

Yes there are rules and regulations.

There are also some other, more obscure disqualified parties - be sure you are running your proposed scenario by a CPA or attorney or qualified Self-Directed IRA custodian, to be sure you are not running afoul of any IRS regulations.
