Mike,If they are crossing primary residences this is prohibited.

Costa Hawkins prohibits rent control on SFH so it went from non rent controlled to rent controlled. 

According to State statue 509.032 (b) A local law, ordinance, or regulation may not prohibit vacation rentals or regulate the duration or frequency of rental of vacation rentals.

A while back the hotels lobbied really hard to prohibit STRs for obvious reasons. 

I BELIEVE it’s just a sticking point not a prohibited one like it is with self directed Ira’s.

However, I am strongly considering the type of thermostat that has password protected set points (ex. prohibits the user from going lower than 70 degrees).

I generally dont do tile, as its cost prohibitive in a rental (I have done that in flips). 

Among other things, these provisions prohibit the DST from doing things like making substantial capital improvements, refinancing, raising additional capital, and other things that are typical in real estate operations.This limits what DSTs can invest in and dictates how they must be structured. 

It's called PEX not Plex.If you are totally replacing the water supply plumbing, unless local code prohibits it I would say to use PEX.

Are you in a market where the costs of the necessary capex is cost prohibitive?
