Your OP sounds like you are more on the cash poor side.Hope these are useful topics to ponder. 

Hey @Marc Shin, hehe like @Bruce Woodruff said, you are single-handedly increasing the topics for searches!

@Reeti PeshawariaThis is a bit tricky to do since STR regulations are an emerging political topic so regulations are consistently shifting.

@Chris Seveney & @Jay Hinrichs Together you raised a good topic of discussion which is the new age Co-GP.

It’s common that this topic is misrepresented.

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books on this topic, or you can learn about it by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

Love to see so many strong opinions on this topic!

I am confused because here is what the data I find says: Now I'm no expert on the topic but CA is still the only place I've ever been where people pop-out of the scrubery to ask if I want a BJ as entire family is loading back up (including grandkids) from a dinner out...... 

Oh very interesting, I'll have to check the planning commission meeting notes because this was a hot topic in Denver the last few years so if it was discussed there on public record I'm surprised it wasn't in the news at all before!

I now completely understand the differences, and while consuming real estate content for the past week on this topic, I have also been leaning towards multifamily and this further cements that.
