It's probably tourism.

Air BnB seems to be having a major effect on rental housing availability. A property owner in a tourist area can make more money with less headache.

Yes, you can. Just have to have lived in it for a year. We'll be at 2 years when we go to put it on the market.

Correct. As noted above, I misread your post as you referring to the house you were under contract in.

If their rules have changed or I'm not remembering correctly from the last time I looked at them please share a link. I've never had an FHA loan so who knows.
We had a FHA loan in the mid 1980s with tenants in the property at the same time. They did not seem to have any issues with it. That was a Tri-plex, we had a 2bdrm home and it had two other units.



Currently I have two studio-loft type apartments of 1,600 sq ft each renting for $700/month. I will have ten small single occupancy efficiencies that will be ready to occupy in June, they will be renting for $300/month.

Our son's in-laws rent an un-attached house with 2 bdrm and 1 1/2 bath for $450/month.

No kidding. Our move here in 2015 coincided with a travel magazine competiton where this area and Tennessee were the top contenders for best new area or something. I think that may have had something to do with it. Seems everywhere I end up moving is the new 'discovered' area of the time...

Is that the going rate there? They get $675-800 for a 2 bedroom here.

It’s the current house not the new house.

As far as rentals, right now it’s going insane. OC

wow..that's cheap! You can't touch a decent 2bd in this area for less than 1200..nicer areas go for 13-1400.

with rent that cheap I have to wonder what the average salary is..cheap rent usually means lower paying jobs..I could be wrong though
