Best markets surrounding Lake Michigan

[Julie Lin]

Hi,

I have been researching STR rental markets and regulations in my area and I am struggling with ways to enter a market with such stringent regulations. For example, I'd love to do a new build in New Buffalo near Lake Michigan but it looks like all the zones restrict new STRs. What markets in the IL, chicago, or nearby Lake Michigan areas are best for creating new STRs without being hindered by zoning regs?

thanks!
