Combined with my 8 years' experience in Tucson's great road cycling scene and local real estate knowledge, my goal was to create a highly lucrative lifestyle business, in a great area that I love living in, where all company assets are centrally located.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I also route buyers away from neighborhoods where I know there is subtle resistance, such as a few pockets in Scottsdale where homeowners have planted "Homes Not Hotels" signs in their yards.Having said that, there is a lot of hoopla around regulations, but when it comes time to make changes, cities have only imposed minor inconveniences, such as registering your rental to ensure you are paying transaction privilege tax and posting the name and number of a local contact who can be on the scene to respond to any noise calls made to police.Whenever there are any campaigns to limit rentals, STR owners show up at the state house to defend their property ownership rights, so regulation attempts have been limited to the kinds of overlays I've mentioned above.No one wants major party houses in their neighborhoods, so choosing your tenant type wisely and setting your STR up in a way that doesn't accommodate huge crowds is a hedge against attracting unwanted attention.As far as price points, while there are a few condo complexes that allow STRS, the majority of STR buyers are purchasing SFR with pools to maximize their revenue.

Hey,So I am very new to the wholesaling scene, or real estate in general. 

Is there a strong network of investors there, or is the scene pretty low-key?

Hello, My name is Jordan and I live and work in the Southern California area. 

A couple of areas I'd like to focus on would be 

Wholesaling,
Flipping,
Building.

I have some connections for investors and I b...

I think its only going to keep growing and as more and more people get more active in the raveling scene it can only keep going up

I'm also from STL focusing on the short-term rental scene at the moment. 

Sunshine, access to the outdoors, great food and drink scene.

I'm very new to the investment scene, but I live in Saint Louis. 

If it does happen then that would the make the Austin Tech scene even more interesting.
