HOA voting to ban MTR

[Kevin Ramos]

Hi everyone. First post here.

I've been house hacking on and off for the past 3 years and was ready to make the move to turn my first property into an MTR. Bought half the furniture and then boom, find out my HOA wants to ban rentals under 6 months. Voting ends in 2 months. They need 67% of homeowners to agree.

I have no idea what their thought process is. They say STRs are dangerous and increase crime, which doesn't really explain why you wouldn't want someone to rent for 5 months. They see MTR and STR as the same

Anyway, unless anyone has any wisdom they want to share, this is mostly a cautionary tale. Remember HOA's exist and can be quite the annoyance!
