@Placeholder PlaceholderOne word of caution I would advise: If a community or local government is enacting restrictions and also regularly enforcing them, then its often a reflection of the local community sentiment which increases the chance of a neighborhood or nearby resident calling you in if they think you may be running an STR.

I didnt realize there were so many restrictions in Oceanside/Carlsbad.  

To list a few...Anyone who wants to increase their property’s income potential (and equity) and build new housing in a market that struggles with high prices, low supply, and few new construction.House hackers who live in their primary and want to airbnb an ADU love this strategy or vice versaInvestors who want to do both long term and short term benefit from having two separate units.Rental Restrictions on ADUs.Thankfully, Raleigh is very STR friendly and ADU friendly right now.

I also prefer to screen the guests and set my own price/stay restrictions.

California is the only state that has essentially put a rent control type of restriction on home owner insurance premiums.

Therefore, if you are getting more income from section 8 tenants, then theoretically your value will be higher, but you will be restricted to buyers that are only looking for Section 8, which could restrict your buyer pool.

I would have to agree with this - appraisals are no exemption to the general inflation/rising costs of the past few year s- $750 is hardly outrageous and investing in non-warrantable condos and with HOA restrictions is always going to have a risk for hiccups

I’m conservative by nature, and would never be comfortable overlooking this restriction.  

We have as much natural resources as anyone in the world, most of the time is restricted for squirrels.

Hey @Jonathan Vinas, @JD Martin hit the nail on the head.You are better off looking in areas with no restrictions if you can.I will say that some of the restrictions might be able to manage.
