I actually often choke when reading some writer's opinion that is based on his interpretation of regulatory law via what he/she read on Google or some other site.

Many servicers are operating in states without holding the appropriate licensing and it places them and the seller of a property at risk of regulatory repercussions.I believe Madison services in NY and SN as well...but if you contact them make sure and confirm that they are properly licensed.Good luck with you transaction! 

I'll also echo the sentiments of the other players in the mix: Ensure you have a good grasp on current and upcoming regulatory changes wherever you decide to drop your anchor.

Call it what you want its a fact of life in the regulatory world of finance. 

Oregon regulatory agencies are pretty fierce .. for such a nice state in other regards.

These are the people who will most likely help you get your first hosting deal.Be sure to continue learning and develop the value you offer (learning the pitfalls, understanding regulatory compliance, improving guest experience, optimizing listing performance and so on) so that you keep the hosting clients that you find.

@Don Konipol I liked your response but banks don't really jump behind STR rentals because of the regulatory uncertainty, to my knowledge.

Understanding market demand, especially for unique rental propositions like tiny homes, and any zoning or regulatory challenges in the area, is also vital.
