Hey everyone,I’ve been diving into San Antonio’s STR regulations to get a clearer picture of how friendly the market is for short-term rentals.

Joe is a good friend of mine.

Ive also heard of online marketing campaigns--targeted FB ads--that can be configured to only target users on your marketing list.

It depends on your goals but I and many of my friends and clients started with house hacking and then used the equity to buy out of state.

find a friendly agent and talk to them.start with a house hack if you can.

It's sad bc she is nice and I like her as a friend, but it is not working out at all!   

Those are generally at least 1 of the following:1) Where they currently live2) Where they grew up3) Where they currently have family/friends living (if not included in #1 or #2)4) And as a last resort, an area where they like to travel/vacation frequently

Ideally, I’m looking for areas with a mix of:High occupancy rates for STRs (Airbnb or VRBO),Solid potential for appreciation over the long term,Investor-friendly regulations on short-term rentals.If anyone has experience with markets that fit these criteria or knows areas where STR is thriving with good investor laws, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
