In the old days, smaller towns would simply round up them up (back then they were called hobos or bums rather than the nicer homeless term), put them on a freight train and send them to the next town to deal with.

Not sure how many STRs you have thus far, but if you are just starting out, I highly recommend looking into the mountain markets due to year round tourism, it is the safest route into the short term rental world in my opinion and markets like the Smokies and Blue Ridge, GA are established and could end up a much lower risk!

And that's huge right now round the country. 

@Steve DockinsMany times now sellers have been choosing from the offers received in the "first round." 

I started looking at more year round markets, but still hoping another VT property comes my way!

Indianapolis-based developer moves step closer to getting started on mixed-use hubIndianapolis-based developer Milhaus on Aug. 26 received unanimous approval from Round Rock City Council to rezone the land to allow for a mix of multifamily residences and townhomes, retail, maker space and park spaceThe development in Round Rock just NorthEast of Austin, TX is positioned between Dell Diamond and the Kalahari Resort for those familiar with the area or looking up the location.  

Then I'd search for units that have been leased a while, call the owner/LL, and explain why it's 'safe' to lease to me.But please, as an owner of multifamily, stop asking "do you accept corporate leases" as a round-about code for "Can I do STR in your property?"

I take great happiness in keeping my commute to a 20 minute walk door-to-door all year round (even winter!).
