I got this letter from Airbnb and my property manager has also reached out to me. I own legal STRs in Maui that are zoned and taxed accordingly. The county is now considering banning STRs altogether due to rise in illegal rentals. If you happen to own an STR in Maui, please follow the appropriate link to write your plea to the country. Mahalo.

Thanks for being part of the passionate short-term rental community in Maui. On Friday, March 6th, the Maui Planning Department will meet to discuss new rules that would significantly impact your ability to share your property. The new rules would repeal the Short-Term Rental Home ordinance and phase out the renewal of current STRH permits.

This hearing will be a great opportunity to make your voice heard to the Maui Planning Department. Join your fellow hosts at Maui to help protect short-term rentals in Maui. Hearing information is provided below.

When: Friday, March 6 at 3 PM

Where: Maui Planning Department Conference Room

250 South High Street

Kalana Pakui Bldg, #200

Wailuku, Maui, HI 96793

If you want to share your thoughts with the City Council, and can’t testify in person at the hearing, you can share your story via email to the below addresses no later than March 5, 2020 so your voice will be heard.

I live in the Phoenix area and have just started looking for multi-family properties with a decent cash flow. I was surprised to see Mesa properties have jumped up in price considerably that the cash flow numbers are looking weak. Can the PHX veterans guide me in finding some good deals and also off-market deals. Any pointers would be very helpful. thanks.

ARMLS has a category for "Multiple Dwellings". I think Zillow uses Home Type = multi-family. But good deals are very hard to find in Phoenix right now. For example, there is a 2x4-plex listed for $1.25M in Tempe with an average rent of $900.
