If you bid and win you'll immediately be charged a 5% deposit from your escrow account (which you must fund prior to bidding) and if you don't pay in full on time you'll lose that money and be banned from bidding for 1 year.

For example one property I have just banned STR and anything under 6 months, that was a big hit for people that were doing AirBNB and unexpected to the model.

@Alex Ibarra Maui county considering STR ban?

Has anyone else been following what is going on with Michelle Malkin getting banned from using Airbnb for allegedly being associated with a 'known hate group' and speaking at a 'white nationalist conference'?

Be careful across the state if you are looking at STR as many local municipalities have started to ban them in one form or another.  

Hey Timothy, I am located in kcmo and will warn you that short term rentals did just get banned if you want to start a new one. 

It seems that most cities in and around Denver have banned STR on 2nd homes.

That will get you BANNED from the S8 program!

I am pretty sure Palm Desert banned AirBNB last year. 

They are only a hop, skip and a jump from more restrictions or outright bans.
