medium term (30+ days) condo airbnb- current state of play?

[Ari Bildner]

Hi Denver (metro area) folks!

My friend (who lives in the area now) and I are considering buying a very basic, 1 or 2br1bath condo that we hope to maximize rental income through 30+  days medium-term rentals- since I lived there and even my last visit earlier this year, I actually didn't realize how stringent the str regulations had become, and I still don't know how small-time landlords actually deal with the laws now. At some point it would be cool to find an off-market property and do a more serious project, but for now we thought we'd keep it simple (this is also a great tax deductible excuse to visit :) Any thoughts on the strategy and current state of regulation around Denver/lakewood/Aurora/Centennial? I know know this may be a great question for @James Carlson ...thanks so much!
