Pinellas has a lot of different cities with different regulations. 

You can search "[city name] short term rental regulations"Yes, you need landlord insurance that specifically covers STRs.

It's all about where regulations hit, and in MN that's at city and county levels. 

The requirements describe match those in the zoning regulations. 

I am excited with the new regulations.

The procedural changes are actually minor and loopholes and work-arounds are definitely possible.

Quiet title is a procedure for notification to any potentially interest parties to put forth any claim they might have within a certain period of time; and if no claims are put forth or if claims are put forth but the court finds no merit in them, then the court will affirm title and the questions related to validity will be considered resolved. 

Thankfully my state has just regulated wholesaling and you now have to be licensed. 

Forced equity and cash flow vary quite a bit by the deal, but Idaho is the most landlord friendly state in the country- the state actually just passed a law making it illegal for cities to regulate rent rates or fees in any way. 

The regulations need to be taken into account but finding a good deal in these markets is easier than most.
