Short Term Rental strategy in San Diego area

[Hal MacKenzie]

Hello, I'm very interested in purchasing a property in the San Diego area, with the intent to AirBnb it out for most of the year and then use it myself for a couple months out of the year.  However it is a fairly expensive area and there are some difficult short term rental restrictions being passed in July, which will essentially require 30 day rental minimums.  I was initially focused on La Jolla, Pacific Beach and Mission Beach areas, but all are subject to these new restrictions which I think will kill my revenue so I have shifted my search slightly further north to areas that have a similar feel but no such restrictions - in particular Encinitas, Cardiff and Carlsbad.  My primary residence is in the NYC and while my wife and I have spent a good amount of time in the San Diego area over the last couple years, we do still have a lot to learn about the San Diego markets.  It would be so much appreciated if there is anyone out there who has experience with short term rentals in these areas and could provide any guidance.  Thanks so much,

Hal
