Short term rentals are a way to increase cashflow, but more and more markets are saturated with STRs which has eroded this strategy.

I have a mid term rental in Charlotte and a Short Term Rental on Lake Norman that does fantastic!

Short term rental is okay.  

Quote from @Christian Gibbs: If you can't find long-term tenants in the winter, you even less likely to find short-term renters.

I ended up taking my short-term rental off line anyway because I moved into the unit.

When the DST property is eventually sold, you can reinvest in another DST or property to continue deferring taxes.In short, if passive income with steady cash flow is your priority, a DST could be ideal, especially if you’re comfortable with higher fees and giving up control.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Long story short, I have been selling assets and plan to move back into the lending side of the business... 

I think for short stays most wont notice and those that do will not care much.

Any community with an HOA will most likely prohibit any short term rentals.
