Owning a STR Business as a RE Agent?

[Raj Jogi]

Hey everyone, first post!

I am currently pursuing my RE license and working on developing a short-term rental management company. The business model would be to lease spaces from residential homeowners and/or apartment complexes, provide accommodations, and market through Airbnb, VRBO, etc.

My question is, can a real estate agent working under the supervision of a broker also own and manage a short-term rental business? If so, how does the broker need to be involved?

Thanks in advance community!
