Hi Lorenzo, Within my 20 years of experience, I’ve seen this play out many times, especially in competitive markets like East Boston.

This plays into the affordability issues for tenants by allowing them to live in nicer neighborhoods for less money, yet I get monthly revenue comparable to short-term rentals.I have also shifted my focus to buying better.

We want to buy an arcade machine for our STR that plays a bunch of different games.

Many of them won't be convinced by facts, such as how much revenue STR's facilitate in and around Asheville, and will continue to push debunked sentiments about affordable housing, but the threat of lawsuits might make them play nicer.

This would be more of a multi-family buy and hold play.
