The case
The metro's revitalized walkable core with lofts, boutiques, and the Principal Riverwalk, drawing young professionals and supporting the strongest short-term-rental demand in the metro where permitted.
Loft/condo product with HOA costs; verify the city's STR permit ordinance before underwriting nightly rentals. Premium pricing. Iowa-specific risks to inspect for: hail damage (claims rising), clay-soil foundation movement in older homes, and basement flooding - budget insurance and a thorough inspection accordingly.
Best for
Appreciation and STR investors who want a walkable core and will verify STR rules.
