Hey @Isaiah Cortez, here are the deets on STRs via the city - https://www.fortlauderdale.gov/government/departments-a-h/de...I don't have any real insights on the area, but do a search and you will find some details.

I live in NYC and started investing in Buffalo a few years back, mainly for the reasons that you mentioned. 

Instead I want to take advantage of the opportunity I have of living rent free to invest my time and money in STR's to hopefully build that portfolio up and eventually make that my main source of income (I understand that will take time).

Quote from @Jim Stanley: You should reserve insurance for large claims.Contact the city and report the issue to them.

Quote from @Daniel Amsalem: If you have an Airbnb in DC, Maryland, or Northern Virginia (NOVA) or want to, I'd ask you provide feedback to the City of Alexandria regarding their proposed regulations.Regulations: https://www.alexandriava.gov/sites/default/files/2024-08/sho...Feedback Form: https://www.research.net/r/AlexandriaVA-ShortTermRentalsAlexandria sets the example for all of DMV as the most permissible county/region. 

I lived in NYC and worked for the city until I was terminated for not taking the covid vaccine.

Out here in Texas, everyone is looking for land to escape the city.

With several large universities, including the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, and Drexel University, the city has a steady stream of students and young professionals looking for rentals.

The entirety of these cities aren't just comprised of cheap run down properties.
