STR (AirBnb, VRBO) get more restrictions, how's about LTR?

[Vince N.]

Hi BP,

I have been thinking to invest in properties in Southern California to rent out for STR. I did some researches and it turns out there are lots of restrictions/resistances on STR not only in California but other states too (and bills are getting passed left and right ...)

As STR (AirBnb, VRBO) are getting more restrictions, does anyone start thinking to switch (or already switched) the strategy to LTR?

If yes, can you please share your experiences/strategies like what websites/services to use? how is the profit compare to STR? What pros vs cons?

Thank you,

Vince
