@David Goldstein I don't know of anything definitive, but it seems Providence is moving in the direction of other cities with heading toward restricting AirBnB to mainly owner-occupied properties and requiring registration/permits for AirBnBs. 

The upward trends may appear to be slowing, but home prices typically do not “decrease” without some sort of direct cause.

It's hard to know if the article got the projection right quantitatively, but Indy has not been a growth market and so directionally that part looks correct.Macro-level, the drivers to to growth markets are population shifts that are ocurring and a lot of people in northern states/cities have relocated to TX, FL, GA, NC, etc. 

I do agree that there are costs involved with running a business, but there are multiple reasons to place the property into a Land Trust rather than directly into the [Series] LLC.

Why deal with someone that doesn't own the home when they can go directly to the seller.

Beyond the monthly membership, how much are you spending on marketing monthly (direct mail, lists, etc.) through them and what kind of results have you had (ie number of deals, etc.). 

Landlords must become very creative to "encourage" tenants that are below market to leave.

let me know if there is anything else i can do to help point you in the right direction.  

In a smaller boutique building you might be able to reach out to someone on the board directly and ask them to try to expedite things. 

Then I direct them to the website to fill out the application.
