This is also the best thing, because many out of state investors find it confusing and stay away, which keeps our returns much higher and wards off Wall Street investors from buying up swaths of houses, which we've seen in other markets.As an STR specialist, keeping up with zoning and regulation statewide is a huge part of my job.I also host monthly short term rental events for local investors, monthly webinars, and I also often get furnished, turnkey off-market STR properties.

I'm an investor, agent and PadSplit host.

Last thing, don't forget, hosting IS a hospitality business.

But most likely you are going to have to find something else.What @John Underwood was getting at is that co-hosts or other managing people are very close to the property to handle all the issues.Also...

Recently I have been hearing about multiple hosts in Texas that are getting citations for operating a coliving facility with occupancy greater than the permitted number of unrelated occupants.

And eventually or even now, go to Real Estate Events all around Chicago, most of them are free and you can find the events on Meetup.com or Eventbrite.com (my company also hosts a lot of events every month that are free @A&N Mortgage which you can find on Meetup.com).Good Luck!

Hey Mike - Since Airbnb doesn't allow videos on listings, a lot of hosts are sharing private tours through platforms like Instagram, YouTube, or Google Drive.

I am still very active in my local market as a host of the WWL Home Improvement each weekend.

American IRA is hosting a live session on End-of-Year Considerations for Your Self-Directed IRAs and 401(k)s on December 4th at 12:00 PM.

Instead, I've heard of hosts raising the nightly rate high enough it won't book or setting a 30-day minimum stay and had no issues with a double booking.
