As much as I hate government and regulation, this kind of BS is why we have it. 

Hey Robyn,In NYC, there's no strict requirement to have a bathtub in residential units.

However, private financing options are becoming increasingly popular for scaling portfolios.Zoning and restrictions: As you mentioned, regulations for short-term rentals, such as Airbnb, vary significantly.

I suspect a lot of those with current regulations CANNOT be rebuilt if they are destroyed but we will see..

I do have several S8 rentals, while they are generally performing well, there is more paperwork involved in the leasing and the strict inspections can be quite a pain. 

I’m not sure all of the regulations/rules to this in PA though.

The value add was recognizing what the current regulations could allow the land to be used for (basically recognizing current land use did not optimize the value).Good luck

Don't use it strictly as a tool to turn the property into one you want to live in. 

I don’t believe any jurisdiction is getting more lax on STR regulation.

Ensure that you thoroughly review your state regulations and display the necessary notices before changing any locks or removing any items left behind.
