I read last year you could rent out as STR for up to 90 days, but sounds like DC has eliminated that STR option this Febuary?!

Originally I had planned to get the required permits from the city, but I had a contractor that I work with recommend to not go through the time, money, and headache of the permitting process since it's my primary residence and I can most likely "get away" with it.

One well-respected attorney I wouldn't hesitate to recommend is Zachary Rothken @ Rosenberg Estis.Good luck and please post updates.

But since this isn’t the traditional bank I can walk to down the street, what is to stop them from receiving my sensitive information and running off, stealing my identity, etc.Thanks for reading!

Any recommendations from out-of-state investors like myself would be highly highly appreciated.

The majority of buyers consider a lender recommended by their RE broker that they are familiar with.

Any recommendations for decent property managers will be greatly appreciated.

Alternatively, does anyone have any recommendations on books or podcasts specific to Canadian Real Estate Investing?

The inspection is an opportunity to (a) document the condition of the rental so I can track tenant damages from that day forward, (b) look into any maintenance issues the tenants may be concerned with, and (c) notify them that a new lease is coming and what that entails.As for rent increases, I don't ever recommend keeping tenants more than 10% below market.

To make matters worse, in order to maintain access to the private FB group after 90 days, you have to pay an additional $450+ per month (yes, you read that right).
