Best STR friendly towns in Colorado

[Max Ferguson]

Hi everyone!

I am an agent and investor in Colorado. I have multiple clients that are looking to purchase for non-owner occupied short term rentals in Colorado. Within 3-4 hours of Denver is a huge plus, but not opposed to something far like Grand Junction.  I am also interested in this for future investments for myself. My questions are:

What towns/cities do you know of that are the most friendly for STR's?

What towns/cities do you see the best returns in currently? 

Any help is greatly appreciated. I am currently in Colorado Springs only doing LTR for myself, and know STR tend to do very well here. I am not opposed to it but seems like regulations are very tight at the current time for Co Springs. Any creative thinking is also greatly appreciated! Thanks!
