STR Friendlier Cities?

[Susie C.]

Currently have some STR but cities have some regulations. Anyone else invest in STRs?

If so, what city are you in and how are the regulations/policies?

Any signs/concerns with policy changes that would limit and/or ban STR?

If you've STR out of state are you self managing or using a service (Vacasa, Evolve, private property manager)? What are the challenges you've face?

Big plus if there’s cities with warmer climate throughout the year as we’d love to have a vacation home we can use ourselves as well.

What you're going to want to do if you truly want to avoid potential regulations is to avoid "Urban" markets, which have a risk of future regulations, and look more towards true vacation markets. Avery Carl highlights the difference between "Urban" markets and true vacation markets and the pro's/cons and risks/benefits each poses early on in her book "Short Term Rental, Long Term Wealth"
