Zoning, Licensing, and Regulations:-Have you encountered regulatory headaches (zoning, health codes, etc.) that impacted your park’s value or operations? 

I have had one for about 6 months then we ended up changing to LTR because of city regulations. 

Working as an agent you have little to no risk, see numerous deals, learn to sell, and will get yourself into situations that create opportunities.

The IRS regulations recognize work that’s done in anticipation of starting a business as part of the activity.

They do have advantages in other areas like personal use (if you've got kiddos especially) and long term security (both in terms of demand and nearly zero regulation risk).As with most (all?)

Look at the data and regulations by state AND county before closing on a property and you should do just fine.

Understanding its limits—and when a Registration Number is required—helps avoid delays and ensures your projects stay compliant with DOB regulations.By getting familiar with this process, contractors can better position themselves for success in New York City’s highly regulated construction environment.

And regulations may change in the future and require going to a septic with a leach field or an alternative system. 

What STR & MTR operators are increasingly realizing is that optionality is important - if it pencils as a LTR thats a nice safety net if regulations change or MTR / STR traffic is less than you'd hoped. 

While I focus my investing in the Midwest, I’ve seen that the key with finding an investor-friendly agent (no matter the market) is making sure they actually understand numbers—cash flow, STR regulations, and rehab costs—not just the MLS listings.
