I am not sure what the regulations are but there could be more possibilities with hobbiest, collectors, unique storage the list is endless.

any unique requirements on insurance?

@John D.I am in a similar situation in terms of needing something unique because my risk profile is a lot less and having trouble finding it though your situation is much better.First I would listen to @Jay Hinrichs no one on here has more HML experience as far as I know.  

Just better to try to work within the system for a better outcome long term.

Obviously, nothing unique to Roanoke.

More as housing "outcomes".How would Outcomes as a Service (OaaS) type thinking affect the long- and short-term rental business?

(yeah, think 50% drop in rents on your cash flow statement)5) not worry about losing all your money and going into foreclosure and starting over (hell, its only time and money)Having said all that, I am constantly circling around to this: San Francisco in specific, NOT the bay area, is so unique and so politically and geographically constrained that if you live here, you would be foolish to not focus a HUGE amount of your REI time and energy looking right here.

I'm impressed with your strategy and outcome!

Openly advertising for stupid investors willing to overpay is a unique strategy to implement that plan. :-).

I think the city offers a unique market given the presence of COP/P66.
