Advice Needed - How to be able to list on Airbnb in Miami Beach, FL

[Twee Phamm]

I am about to purchase a property in Miami Beach to do STR, and I'm so excited to start my Airbnb business venture. However, it seems like there are so many rules and regulations with the State/City and when it comes to getting approved to list on Airbnb. Is there anyway to bypass any of the requirements? One of the requirement that is the most challenging to obtain is a letter from the HOA saying that STR (less than 180 days) is allowed. Can we provide other documents in its place if the HOA doesn't provide?

I took a look at the Miami STR zoning map from the Airbnb website and saw that the property that I'm about to purchase is in a zone that as "Short Term Rentals Allowed in accordance with all applicable State, County, and Local regulations." With this said, I'm taking it as it's not prohibited at least. There is a lot of paperwork and certificates to obtain, but they require the letter from the HOA.

I was browsing Miami on Airbnb, and it just seems like so many people are able to do Airbnb in Miami. Some places look like they are in really nice high-rise buildings with probably really strict rental/leasing terms from the HOA. So I'm wondering how are these people able to get on the Airbnb platforms to list their properties with the strict paperwork requirement. What is the loophole here?

I'm close to closing on the property, but now I am wondering if this is a good idea to move forward if I can't even get to list on Airbnb so really do need some help to make a decision.

Thank you so much!
