I'm a licensed contractor based in Morocco with over 20 years of experience in construction and real estate development.

While the homeowner gets to take the revenue and real estate tax benefits.

I do commercial development in Florida, focusing on St.

Thinking of trying to market to a handful of homeowners that would like us to manage the STR for a % of revenue.

I mean Joe Montana is a very successful Developer same with Steve Young.. and Ronnie Lott has done well in RE also.but I bought a big mansion that was 3/4 done from an NBA star and he was not business savvy at all.. and on top of that had about 7 or 8 baby moma's all with child support judgements against him ..

The property was acquired with the long-term vision of capitalizing on the nearby development of a casino, expected to attract workers and residents.

STR PotentialWith $40K in annual revenue, reaching $1,000/month in cash flow will require some adjustments.

But I think you may be asking, should you do the rezoning, or leave it to the ultimate developer. 

Yes, these platforms need revenue to survive and typically the easiest way is charging a monthly membership or per transaction fee. 

Increase supply (or at least encourage development), and the prices will eventually come down (as we've seen in other large cities like Austin where the demand boom was followed by a supply boom - and now both sale prices and rents have gone down).
