Problem here is, apart from the zoning restrictions of STR, purchasing a property is extremely expensive.

We also try to identify hot prospects in areas subject to waitlists for those that intend to personally utilize the property for vacation usages or rent mid term (30+ days) until a permit can be secured.

I am currently living in Oregon but will be relocating as soon as i can to Tennessee and starting an LLC. if anyone has a great roadmap, that would be extremely welcomed.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy extreme sports and traveling.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

The best way to deal with these things is to create policies you go by and will only bend under extreme circumstances (this is true for almost everything business, as The E-Myth discusses very well).

This is a bit of an extreme example.. but it is one of many that could take away your ability to rent. 

Neither of those options are extremely efficient or effective.

Texas is difficult as a Californian due to the extremely high Texas property tax, coupled by the CA state income tax.
