Are these City owned meters?

And based on early comments from both sides of the aisle, that number isn’t unrealistic.The reasoning is clear: the city makes up 18% of Kentucky’s population but generates 24% of the state’s tax revenue.

Why isn’t your question “Who is sharing false data with the city?”

@Randy Kinder what OOS markets/cities are you open to investing in?

Cities that do not rely on visitors often see STRs as a threat to housing or neighborhood stability.

According to Airbnb:Guests who book Airbnb listings that are located in the City of Tuscaloosa, AL will pay the following tax as part of their reservation:City of Tuscaloosa Lodging Tax: 11% of the listing price, including any cleaning fees, for reservations 29 days or shorter.

In Metro Detroit, if they are not paid, the city sells them to county (with penalties & interest) and county adds to tax bill.Since the water bill stays in owner name, this creates challenges:1) Billing Tenants - do NOT let water bill go to property and trust tenant to pay! 

My main goal is to live in the property for a few years and then convert it into a long-term rental, which makes my choice of property type crucial: should I focus on a single-family house outside the city, a smaller home within the city limits, or a condo?

I understand that the City of Anaheim is no longer issuing new STR permits, so one option is to buy a property that already has an existing STR license.

For the past year I have been gearing up to purchase some duplexes (8 doors total over the next 2-3 years max) in the City of Rochester with the intent of working with the HCV program.
