Feel free to PM me if I can help you.

And having HOA fees and insurances and maintenance in the hands of a board makes me go fetal. 

I always recommend finding the information yourself but here’s what I know.The city is divided into a handful of districts and only a certain number of STR permits are issued in each district depending on various criteria.

At that point, it was a "live for free" investment.

We want to buy a single-family home as close to debt-free as possible and then use leverage after that point.

If the downpayment + closing cost is free, and you are doing a triple net lease to keep any repairs on the tenant in the next ten years, it may be worth the trouble.

You should, that's the best thing about STR, you can get free use out of them.

I am also looking to start to transition into long turn multifamily properties.feel free to shoot me a message or if you know of anyone that would like to connect.

There is free software online too, like Wave which gets a nod from a lot of folks with simple businessesI recommend hiring a bookkeeper if you are going to scale.

Think of getting your butt handed to you in a lawsuit if a kid wriggles through and busts his skull open.
