Daytona Beach Shores short term home rentals.

[Shane Mcgill]

We just looked at our dream house today in Daytona Beach Shores. It is a single family and I believe zoned residential( huge condo complex across the street). We planned on making it a weekly rental, but only renting it one or two weeks a month. We will be living in Orlando, but plan using the property often. We asked the agent about rental potential. He was not clear, but he thinks it can only be rented at 6 month minimum. I have read the local ordinance (bummer). I also have read of the recent law suit won by the city. My question is why do I see houses advertised for STR in Daytona? Are the just risking it? My heart says buy. My brain says walk away. ( we can't really justify the investment if we can't somewhat balance the mortgage.
