I also dont think the city council will be STR friendly anytime soon, and I suspect they will get more stringent on STR permits in the future, not less (they definitely are not in my backyard types).

I do have legal council, but i just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this, or kind of get a second opinion. 

The town attorney now advises the council to just ignore the issue.The good news is that there are many of you and you can pool your funds for the lawsuit! 

By requiring the practice to be licensed, this moves the oversite of wholesaling directly to MREC.There is likely a similar bill hovering in th3 DC Council.

I got a great feeling from them and one of them ran for city council in the city its in.

Urgent call out for anyone in Volusia County (Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Ormond-by-the-Sea, Holly Hill, Deltona, DeLand, etc.)The Volusia County Council will be voting on whether or not they will be allowing Vacation Rentals in unincorporated Volusia County on MAY 18th!

The BC Financial Services Authority (formerly the Real Estate Council of BC) has rules in place restricting the assignment of real estate contracts.

The rules could be better, but the council is trying to be fair to long time good/responsible STR operators.  

I do think it's possible to get a property cash flowing here, but just barely, and there's no appreciation guarantee, AND there are some extra costs that I don't have at my Portland, OR rental (snow shoveling/plowing and lawn maintenance are both *required* by the village council here, I've come to learn, and if you don't stay on top of them the village will fine you). 

ALSO, law enforcement is paid for by your property tax, the mayor and just about every other county employee is feeding off your property tax revenue...get involved with your local politicians and be present and involved with local community meetings, aka board of supervisor, city council meetings, HOA, etc.Find other "stake holders" like business owners and home owners that suffer from the same offenders.
