There are some teeth to HICPA since it works in tandem with the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law ("UTPCPL").

Looking at the places, they are all the "weird" kind or have some kind of alternative building practice.

Here are 3 practical strategies that might help you take your investment business to the next level.1.

I believe Hawaii will continue regulating STR and it will be harder to make the numbers work. 

We try hard to follow the regulations, including the Dodd Frank Act.

In the last few years, they've made illegal:-Rent controls of any kind-Limiting of fees or screening charges-The ability of HOAs to regulate STRs or LTRs in their neighborhoodThat's just the start.

All well and good to dream big, but you need to understand the practicalities and probabilities of getting the deal to closing. 

I would not touch Denver county with a 10 foot pole because of all the regulations they have in place. 

Another huge thing to consider is laws and regulations, many times new investors will jump at Hudson county thinking the proximity to NYC is great for renting (which it is) but many of the municipalities in Hudson county have very strict landlord laws. 

All of this said, be sure to do your research on STR regulations first and find a STR friendly location.
