The suggestions of getting a 2-4 unit multifamily are great too. 

You can even house-hack and rent out the other units with STR.

The MLS is not the best place to cruise for a bargain but I was looking at some 2-4 unit properties and the prices are absolutely bonkers.

Then re-calculate the estimated rent for your unit based on the comps you selected from their reports.

I do think new models will emerge however the more I digest this settlement & believe me I more than anyone would love to see the industry transformed, I think the more likely outcome is just reduced net commissions and reduced volume for agents, while not being an extinction level event either.

I won't presume that they shouldn't have done this, but will state that in most jurisdictions with rental licensing laws thats a big no-no.To answer your questions generally (not specific to Colwyn Darby, PA because I am not licensed there):1) Generally the county will not allow evictions or rent collection actions if a unit is being rented without a licenses.

You will be researching your own rent levels, your own vacancy, your own landscaping budgets, your own repair estimates based on unit condition, etc.  

I've previously done all less than 4 units where I got residential mortgages at much lower rates that cash flowed well on 15 year.
