The state doesn’t have rent control laws, but landlords are prohibited from collecting more than one month’s rent for security deposits.

CA law prohibits the counties from making the actual recorded document image available online.

The IRS has issued three (3) Private Letter Rulings that specifically allowed these types of transactions, but you are certainly right about the time, money, risk and cost prohibitive in many cases. 

Yeah, more and more Colorado cities and counties prohibit non-owner occupied STRs.

So the govt entities can't come in and change the laws to restrict or prohibit STRs from operating like they are in many other areas. 

For those following along at home, that language is found in Title 10, Chapter 1, Article E, section 6 (or 10-1E-6) in the municipal code.It reads: "The renting or leasing of real property for residential occupation for periods of time less than thirty (30) days is prohibited in any zoning district within the town, except as permitted in this title for hotels, motels and bed and breakfast inns."

On the other hand, I'm almost certain that it is not explicitly prohibited by the law, either.

Because either one of these two tax claims accomplishes something that is normally prohibited: allows you to deduct real estate losses against high W2 income.

Personally I would just consider either lease it cheap to nearby farmers, check with another solar developer if the reason is not prohibitive or sell at a loss.  

Is your broker prohibiting you from working with investors?
