A balanced budget and fiscally responsible legislation should be a given.  

Isn't in funny that politicians who bang the table loudly for a higher minimum wage with one hand simultaneously write legislation with their other hand which prevents landlords from profiting off their capital and labor?

Cash flow somewhat more important than appreciate but we are looking for a balance.We are open to house hacking, multi family LTR, and midterm rentals (I understand there may be new legislation passing regarding STR but may still be able to do with a househack.Appreciate any advice!

Arlington County considered legalizing them a couple years ago, but I think the legislation stalled with the County Board. 

I've also known state actors to overstep their authority into illegal activities, too.Even in Texas, legislators and TRELA (the licensing agency) have been tinkering with the definition of what it means to "broker". 

(On another note: I'm unsure of the constitutionality of the whole idea of saying in legislation, "This is the law, and the following activities must be done according to this law, plus every other activity which isn't on the list but which achieves a similar result as the following activities."

For anyone still following the Short Term Rental legislation in the City of Jacksonville, FL, the COJ website has the most recent updates and audio of the committee meetings. 

Hi Bryan,I own STR's in Scottsdale and fortunately the Governor signed legislation to legalize vacation rentals statewide. 

I thought short term rental was ban in Santa Cruz years ago, as a coworker at the time bought into it and a year later, short term rental got banned....She took a big hit at the time because RE prices tanked because of that legislation.....But it seems to be legal again now?  

Also Tillman Fertitta has push legislation through the city to restrict new hotels and condos along the seawall.
