3️⃣ Local Regulations: Before you invest in a short-term rental, it's essential to understand the local rules and licensing requirements.

It did not start this way, in 2017 through 2020(right before Covid) I worked 12 hour days, minimum, but I had the support I needed and knew to balance certain things. 2020-2021 I worked more, I would say. 2022 systems were put in place; this is where most wealthy will fail to become ultra wealthy and you'll  see the horrible climb & never  the view.

Unfortunately, I do have a property in an HOA, which often comes with their own set of rules that you'd have to follow of course.
