STR and Airbnb

Hey All!

I currently worked with a client who wanted to buy a STR but every municipality I called told me they're illegal. I still saw a ton of STR on Airbnb regardless.

Can people still get away with buying STR even if they are illegal?

I wouldn't go into something already knowing it was illegal, you are just asking for trouble.

Just because other people are getting away with it currently doesn't mean they won't get shut down in the near future. They could also be fined.
