Do I need a RE license to be a vacation rental manager?

Riley Lucchesi
Posted

Does anyone know if you need a real estate license to be a vacation rental property manager in California? I know you do for long-term rentals, but do you for short term?

Also if your state has any rules let me know, thanks!

There are some exceptions for STRs where the stays are less than 7 days and they generally operate like a hotel. But if you're going to manage as a business it would probably to be better to go ahead and get the license. I think it has to be a Brokers License, not just a Realtors license.
