I would work with a rock solid STR agent in San Antonio to see what places are less strict as I know they have been cracking down.

Crime is on the rise, property protections for landlords is nearly non-existent, and development is leaving the area for more favorable regulations. 

We used to do STR arbitrage, which can work great in SoCal, but regulations are the main barrier to that. 

Some landlords are strict when it comes to late payments.

I know the tools aren't always 100% reliable due to bad data so I'm curious if anyone here as experience with STRs in Albuquerque.It also seems like STR regulations aren't super strict at the moment - need to register for a permit and comply with various rules around occupancy limits, acknowledgements, etc - nothing too crazy.

My intention is to live in the basement, rent out the remaining bedroom to a long term roommate, and run the upstairs as a full time STR.I'm aware that the City of Littleton has strict short term rental regulations, but they do allow STRs as long as I have a license and I am occupying the property.  

Florence - Limited current regulation within city limits. 1 hour to Eugene & Airport.

Don't forget to familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations; hiring a local attorney can help navigate the legal aspects.

Their rules are not as strict as Freddie Mac.

There are groups on meet up that are working on changing the regulations around this, city codes.
