Major US cities Zoning to prohibit Air BnB?

Posted

Investing in a property that makes good money with short term rentals w/AirBnb BUT so curious even if the condo building allows for this what good is that if Zoning eventually prohibits it, so my question is how can I find out the possibilty of an area loosing the right to rent short term?

Bought property in Condado San Juan but curious about all major city areas like Cambridge& Boston MA, where btw it seems to be allowed (with city inpection in Cambridge)in resedential area that doesnt seem to be "hotel zoning")

@Mike S. I would make sure any property you buy makes sense as a regular rental as well because you never know when a city might prohibit short term rentals. If it makes sense as a rental but might make more using airbnb, then by all means go ahead and do it. But I wouldn't count on it being allowed forever better to be conservative just in case.
