Short term rental property manager- need a license?

[Mitchell Maginnis]

Hi! I am pondering the idea of starting a short term rental management company. After doing some research, I realized that some states require a license in order to be a property manager. How are people getting around these regulations (aka cohosts and others managing other people's units)? I would ideally operate in MN.

Any knowledge or experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

Co host is a loop hole because the money goes to the owners bank account not yours. I can see that going away in the future. 

If you’re going to do it do it right and become a real manager and run a real business that’s my 2 cents
