Post: Is the rent by the room strategy good for MTR's (Nurses)

My sense is that the MTR space is about to be incredibly oversaturated with listings. Does anyone else feel this way? I feel like this same thing happened to STRs. They started getting promoted by every guru and podcast as a way to cover higher interest payments, replace active income, etc. Demand dropped off and people looked for the next big way to increase their cashflow with a similar asset class. I just don't see how a strategy being promoted at such a mass scale can have a sustained competitive advantage IMHO.
I might be wrong, though. Does anyone have a different point of view on the medium and long term prospect for this strategy?

Post: Who and how to combine tax parcels in Dekalb County for a DSCR

I have a property in Dekalb that was split into 2 tax parcels (main house and carriage house) or has possibly always been that way. I am looking to refinance, but I'm getting issues with potentially needing 2 separate loans. With the carriage house parcel, I'm getting an issue because the carriage house is only around 550 square feet and too small to qualify for my usual DSCR lender's standards.
My questions are the following: (1) What type of professional can facilitate the process of combining these parcels, including dealing with the survey, the city/county, etc.? (2) Would this type of action likely to be successful given that we're currently legal non-conforming use, but not proposing any changes or improvements? (3) If combining the tax parcels is not practical, is there a specific lender than can refinance the 2 parcels under 1 loan, given legal non-conforming use?
(Thank you in advance for not referring me to an REIA)
