No wonder municipalities look to restricting or banning STR's.

Some appraisers in some states became all up in arms when agents did these and lobbied to get them banned in their state.

Because of this if an HOA finds out you don't have a liability policy you will get fined and/or banned from renting short term.

It would be nice to ban pets altogether, but of course that's another competitive disadvantage.

To play devils advocate here I doubt many lenders will find this appealing since New York just banned short term rentals (less than 30 days). 

Getting the permit….I managed to get a Type 2 “non-owner occupied” permit the day they banned type 2 permits (literally).It took me 6 attempts to get my permit.Attempt 1: Go down to zoning.

I don't ban hot plates but I've never had that issue.

I was trying to message some local investors and agents near me and it said I was now banned from messaging.  :{ So that was fun while it lasted I guess.....Anyway, My name is Ryan, I'm a licensed Loan Officer in the state of Utah and would very much like to get connected up with other like minded investors, Real Estate Agents and wholesalers!

(Please BP dont ban me for criticizing a strategy a well known BP persona advocates)So if you are from the Baltimore area, know the area, invest there, and use your common sense to help mitigate the risk.Although always keep in mind, while Market Knowledge is our greatest mitigator of risk....sometimes it blinds us to being able to properly analyze risk across multiple asset types, multiple markets, because you inherently in your mind minimize the risk inherent in an asset or market that you do understand, while over blowing the risk in ones you are not as familiar with.
