A landlord looks a t how much the property will make long term.A flipper looks at how much in a short term .

I'll keep this short and simple.

Hello,I have had a short term rental that is not compliant with my HOA. 

I would think transient room mates on renewable short leases would be much safer than bearing the brunt of San Francisco's LTR tenant laws.

Short Sales, Bank Owned, $/sqft, school district, days on market, etc.  

Here's what works for me: 1) Posting your property on Facebook Marketplace2) Craigslist3) Talk to local universities or big corporations who may need short or long term housing for their clients4) Property managers are hit or miss.

I’ve been hearing some chatter about large hotel chains lobbying significant funds to push for regulations or outright bans on short-term rentals like Airbnb.

My wife briefly help a friend manage their monthly short term rental in San Francisco while they were traveling and have a few friends that do it.Monthly rentals seem to book pretty well, but not at a significant premium to long term term rentals. 

@Jon Martin  I agree and in short term its just not worth what you will get in reviews for something like this. 

This plays into the affordability issues for tenants by allowing them to live in nicer neighborhoods for less money, yet I get monthly revenue comparable to short-term rentals.I have also shifted my focus to buying better.
