Do you need a Real Estate license to manage vacation rentals??

[Alex Zemianek]

Hello! I own a real estate development and vacation rental business in STL , MO, and I know Missouri requires you to obtain a RE license when launching a property management company, but does anyone know of a way around that for "Vacation Rental Management" or do the same rules apply??? I currently own and manage 6 of my own in STL and plan to expand into "Host management" for other owners/host that I network with in and outside of STL. I've ran my company for 8 years without a license finding, funding, flipping, or renting my own, so i'd prefer not to, but if I need to it's not the end of the world.. Thanks!
