We've always had the dream of real estate investing but it seemed way too out of reach (still feels a little scary), but I have read a few real estate investing books and feel hopeful and excited to start down the REI road.We live in north county San Diego and are looking to invest out of state, likely the Dayton, OH area.

My first stop would be the existing homeowners insurance carrier.  

I’ve had this itch to get into real estate for a long time, but everytime I start to dip my toes in I get the feeling that with prices/rates where there at it’s hard to justify pulling money from risk free 5.5% ?

If I can manage to obtain a decent unit for 90k or below I feel like I could make out well. 

But you have to be there 10 years consistently after obtaining the proper residency and approved permits AND meet the annual donation requirements, THEN it will be reduced to 5%.However, after reviewing this again,I feel all the other details associated with Act 60 is not really worth my while.

I told him I'd gamble that there's no one who even knows that restriction exists to enforce even if an heir lived in the area...the way to legally eliminate them is either get the beneficiary to record a new document (possibly a QC deed) to eliminate their restrictions, or pursue a Quiet Title if you think the person is no longer around or their heirs are not identifiable. 

This is a disaster, and may be worse than foreclosure for both new and existing investors.

Perhaps more common for a snow removal vendor as its usually a seasonal service paired with landscaping where employee relationships are more likely to exist.  

No reason to feel sorry for us u less you feel the STR quota was unfair.

Because of so many STR places the availability for long term rentals is almost non existent.
