@Edgar PerezGo with a sober house, zone it as a lodging house to circumvent any state regulations that may dictate what you can and can’t do.

There are also very strict regulations on who can invest in the stock market.

After reviewing the city ordinances, I have a couple of questions about STR regulations.

Regulation and guest avatar varies in each but could be a good place to start searching.1) Waco, Texas2) Columbia, SC3) Columbus, Georgia4) Alabama markets5) Branson, Missouri6) Fort Smith, Arkansas (several in Arkansas, actually)7) Temple, Bastrop, or Brenham, Texas8) Shreveport, Louisiana9) Harrisburg, Virginia

If you manage homes built before 1978, there's a key regulation to be aware of: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires property managers and Landlords Nationwide to be certified in lead-based paint handling.

Biggest pati le is getting approved from VA and bringing property up to regulation.

Its seems many pros are burying their heads to the regulations or not thoroughly understanding how to interpret STRs in the tax code (the transient rental rules etc).

You're absolutely right—some investors still flock to cities like New York and San Francisco, even though these places come with more tenant-friendly regulations.

Per fair housing regulations, I can't answer this question. 

I loved being a landlord and felt good about it, but since its gotten to be so regulated and anti- landlord here, its best I get out.
