We require co-signer to be local and a real estate owner, so that in case of default we can lien their real estate.

I then check to see if there are any local laws that limit the number of STR rentals in the municipality.

Also make sure you research any local government / municipal STR restrictions.

You have 3 options:1) Look locally for Class C & D rentals - but be forewarned, you need to know pros & cons!

Gals and Gents,I have read a lot in the past BP articles and listened to many BP podcasts, it's a pleasure becoming part of the crowd.Let me introduce myself, I am active in the NYC market, I buy a lot of class C properties rehab / convert, rent them out, I have done rinse and repeat many many projects and I am seeing nice returns, not always fully recoup my full investment but I am generally finishing all in at around a 9 or 10 cap!

Talk to the county taxing authority and a local real estate attorney/professional.

I suggest that you try to invest locally.

Not a whole lot built in savings, but I do know a few potential partners that would want to go in with me and I'm good friends with a local GC.
