Quote from @Joy Daniels: As a short-term property manager I've seen how this industry changes so often—new guest trends, tech tools, and regulations seem to pop up all the time.

I'm considering purchasing a condo or a small SFH in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area as an investment property and renting it out on a short term rental site like AirBNB. 

My idea to achieve this is to convert the studio into a short-term rental.I’m trying to determine if I’m forcing this deal to work by relying on the short-term rental strategy or if it’s a reasonable approach given the numbers.

I had one short term rental that was granted a permit earlier this year and I have been operating it for months now as an STR.

It simply depends on your time frame, when you want to actually begin renting the property out short term, and what the loan terms are.

Hey friends, I'm an agent in Daytona Beach and I locking in my first short term rental listing.

What are your loan terms?

Airdna wants me to lower the price but I also do not make enough, still better than $0.I will link my few, one has a long-term renter https://abnb.me/AQJoTn3zJpbhttps://abnb.me/ZMAc7i5zJpbhttps://abnb.me/GtVbaF6zJpb

They hold title, and the mortgage and promissory note were attorney drafted and filed at our local county. 

What started off as primarily a second home with the possibility of short term leasing quickly flipped to a STR first and a second home when not rented because demand is so strong right now for STR's in this area.
