Shopify might feel restrictive because it's not built for the complexities of managing properties or handling booking systems efficiently.

As with most municipalities and jurisdictions, the evolution of the AirBnB market has spawned regulation and restrictions on where, when and how a STR can operate.

As mentioned above, Portland has more restrictive rules than most of the state of Oregon.

Your lender can restrict your access to that credit for a number of reasons.

@Kaaren Hall after seeing your post i called them right away, their fees are extremely high for an HSA that for the most part most people don't have a lot of money in.I max my HSA every year, but if you have a self only plan you can only put about 4k /yr  and if you have some medical bills it's less.they are also very restrictive on taking money out, and no CC to pay the doctor. prior to speaking with them I was extremely excited to see this opportunity you suggested,  but after my conversation I'm no longer...I will look for other options now that I see there may be some, so thanks so much for bringing it up.
