Our local organizations do a lot - we have representatives meeting with council members, a professional PR firm to help change the narrative on STR's here on the islands, and we're working towards increasing our own lobbying power.

I don't like it nearly as much as senior living which is far more protected and in most states the regulations are better figured out and set in stone.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I have a nice hi-rise condo unit and I get tons of companies asking if I do MTRs for Visiting Nurses, Tech Professionals, etc.My place is positioned near a number of large DC Metro Hospitals, but since covid work-from-home and recent lift of Eviction Moritorium, I have had few people with jobs, but a ton of people recently evicted looking to rent my place.The one viable group - visiting nurses has been excluded because my HOA will not allow short or mid-term rentals (anything less than one year is a No-No).They claim too many transient tenants cause excessive wear and tear on the property and too many people using resources like the gym, or pool or common areas.I think that's a lot of horse waste!

If your going to be diligent and actually find a professional (which will be difficult) then it could more than pay for itself to hire someone. 

Hi Michael,Welcome to the community- There are a lot of good professionals and resources here on bigger pockets to learn and grow. 

. :-)  I appreciate this.I'm going to be there in a month and hope to meet one of them.There are a good deal of healthcare professionals renting MTR's in the area, so I'm hoping one of the agents I connect with is familiar with MTR's.

I’m here to expand my network, connect with investors, hard money lenders, and fellow professionals, and collaborate on value-driven real estate opportunities.
