Short-term rentals like Airbnb can perform well in tourist-heavy areas like Vegas, but be sure to check local regulations.

>If you rent that out without a true Certificate of Occupancy, a tenant can sue you for ALL of their rent money back. show me any law/regulation that states this.  

However, if they are still considered a short-term guest under lodging rules, you may have more flexibility, though the specifics can depend on local regulations in Seattle.Since this can become a legal gray area, I recommend documenting all agreements, payments, and communication with the guest.

STR regulations have been a VERY hot topic here for the last year (and even beforehand).

The government has regulated their hours of work to 24 hours a week rather than 40 hours.

PA is super regulated state and not a state i recommend doing seller financing in.

NOPE  these are not federally or state regulated loans or lenders they owe u NOTHING.

I have never dealt with an investor who didn't physically go to the property & most look up zoning regulations before even giving me an offer!

Ok, well now STRs are regulated in that city, and that same income approached value plummets since the home can only be rented as an LTR.

Make sure you know the regulations.
