STR/House hack work around in Orange County?

[Agustin Jimenez]

Hello, 

I know that STRs are not allowed in Orange County and only midterm rentals are allowed. However, I wanted to jump on here and ask if anyone knows of a work around or "loophole" to be able to have an STR in Orange County.

Goal: own a STR in Orange County that I and my family can also occupy as a vacation home. My wife and I both work remotely from Central Valley CA and would like to visit family in SoCal on a regular basis and an STR would be wonderful to stay in that we also own. 

Midterm rental is something to consider however it would make it harder for us to cover the mortgage every month. Looking for another option closer to an STR. 

thanks

@Agustin Jimenez It depends on which cities in OC. There are still some cities in OC where the ordinances are pretty lenient. If it's a city closer to the coast, it's probably harder to operate. If you have a unique amenity on the property, you can rent the space out the hour for for events, meetings and productions.
