now that we know this companies name I suspect some of the SC agents will turn this company in and ask how they can do it while others cant/wont.Jay, do you see all of this regulation as cleaning up the swamp of fly by night wannabes  and resulting in greater deal opportunity for those with the capital, knowledge and experience to comply and profit?  

Some have lots of rules and regulations and are only in it for the education fees.

You do have to deal with more regulation, which is the cost of doing business in CA.

However, the short-term rental market comes with added complexities like managing turnover, dealing with seasonality, and ensuring you comply with local regulations.

Nashville, IN is known to have rental restrictions on STRs in the area, so I would double check the regulations.

@Jared Pinkus what are you seeing as too stringent regulations for STVRs in Dells?

So I live in CA and the laws and regulation here can be crazy.

In fact, according to a recent study, regulation “imposed by all levels of government accounts for an average of 40.6 % of development costs (NAHB, O’Leary).”

I think the major branches of STR that owners need to know are -Financing, Market Research (you technically have it already in Cape Coral), Property Selection (what makes good STRs, regulations, analyzing, etc.), Designing and Furnishing (amenities, design, theme, linens, etc), and operating (Insurance, Property management or self-management, Tech & Tools, Cleaners & handy people, etc)All of these could be covered depending on who you work with that can cover each topic. 

In our fiat system, supply is regulated by the Fed, and printed by the Treasury.
