Thank you so much everyone. I have a starting point 👍

Hi, 

I'm in the process of learning about short-term rental investments and analyzing potential markets, but I’ve hit a major roadblock: understanding local regulations. It seems like every city, county, and state has its own rules, permits, and tax requirements for short-term rentals, and I’m finding it overwhelming to navigate all the different layers of compliance.

For example, some places require business licenses, transient occupancy tax permits, or even special zoning approvals. Others have caps on how many nights a property can be rented or outright bans on certain types of rentals. It’s a lot to keep track of, especially when researching multiple markets.

Would greatly appreciate any advice/insights from experienced investors who've navigated these challenges :

• - How do you approach understanding and evaluating short-term rental regulations when considering a new market?
• - Are there specific tools, resources, or methods you use to simplify the regulation process?
• - Any tips for staying updated on regulation changes?

Thank you so much 

 Hi @Savannah Holzer, I'd like to start with california and spread out to central if the CoC turns out with low returns. Would you have any suggestions outside CA with a low entry/purchase price and high rents ? Thanks so much

Thank you @Samuel Diouf. To confirm I understand what you meant, if I wanted the cashflow, did you mean look for markets where the purchase price is low and high rental rates ? Any suggestions here in or outside of Cali?

 Thank you @Wilson Lau. Yes Yosemite is within the market I am exploring. I would love an introduction. PLease let me know if you need anything from me. 

 Thank you @Scott Trench. That is a great suggestion, going to try that.

@Bradley Buxton

Thank you for the reply. Still learning to use this platform:) 

To answer your question, I would like to stay clear of the metro and national fly to markets due to their volatile ST regulation structure. 

As a starter I think the regional/drive to leisure market would be an area for me to start, where folks can drive within a couple of hours and still get a vacation. 

Hi All,

Thank you @Scott Trench
