Looking for advice on on cape cod STR
Little back round on the house. My parents thought they wanted to retire in cape cod. They bought a house in Falmouth closer to the mashpee line. Turns out they hate it. They want to move back to be closer to me and my wife (young kid/growing family). The question(s) are
What does MA require to be able to list your house as a STR or is it per town?
Does anyone have any cleaners they could recommend in the upper cape?
They are in process of purchasing a condo cash right now so I’m looking to move on this ASAP to have it ready by the start of peak season.
For anyone that is thinking “what are your goals” we just want to break even on the house and be able to use it twice a summer

Hey, Nicholas. You’ll need to apply for a rental permit. You can find that application here.
I'm from Falmouth and my parents clean my STR as well as a couple others around town. They live in Falmouth full time and have been turning over STRs down there for over a decade. If you'd like me to connect you with them or need any help managing the property feel free to connect with me on here and shoot me a message. Good luck with the rental!
