Esprit You first have to review the local zoning code.

If they can provide leads within an investor's zip code(s), or if they were able to bring in hot leads, then I think the service would make sense for a wider variety of investors.

All written in code, there was no man sitting in the box answering your responses.

Did a quick Google search... if I'm not mistaken, Belleville requires a new CO for any unit being turned over (especially after renovation).Sounds like they’ll inspect both units to ensure the entire property meets code even if only one is being re-rented.

I used to define markets by state but now we do by zip codes and strategy. there's 440 zips in ohio, 7 of which we do business in which are downtown columbus and that is the urban core and urban core adacjent. rents are higher, property values are higher, developer and density friendly, low risk land or infill land, plus fastest appreciation in the market.

It’s worth asking PMs about their experience managing in specific zip codes (e.g., 43211 or 43201), and whether they offer maintenance coordination or have in-house crews, especially since you mentioned deferred maintenance.Also, since you’re out-of-state, responsiveness and transparency will be key.

Also, do you know which zip codes you're targeting?

Even if I’m not planning on STRs right now, knowing how other investors use those rules is valuable context.Thanks for sharing your expertise, it’s the kind of real-world nuance that’s tough to get from just reading tax code summaries. 

It's a generational wealth tool built into our tax code.

An architect can ensure your plans meet code, get permit approvals faster, and help you maximize the use of your lots.I’d like to refer you to Leo Marshall, a licensed architect who’s worked on similar residential projects.
