I am seeing a crackdown on STRs not so much as a result of any hotel lobby, but as a result of regular citizens complaining to their elected officials that they don't like living next to a hotel.Can't really blame them.

If you elect to use a VA loan, that typically means you don't plan to put any money down.

If you elected to rent, would a house be the only considered option?

From what I’ve read in Bloomberg, electing S-Corp taxation for your LLC might reduce your self-employment tax burden when you start paying yourself a salary.

These initiatives exist in both Italy and Spain but are not meant to compete with developed areas like the Costa del Sol.That said, it’s important to note that I know the Costa del Sol very well, as my parents are from the region.

It’s meant for owners who want to keep ownership of their property but need a way to access liquidity without taking on more debt or selling the asset outright. 

Such as unplugging smoke detectors, flushing things down toilet not meant for the toilet, etc...

This is an election, but I suspect here we may see this more often. 

When I said size doesn't matter as much I meant for STR you don't need massive rooms, larger common areas, etc.If you went MTR you might go further away from RTP and go for higher bedroom count, for less appreciation on average.NOTHING about this post is gospel.

sorry meant mortgage rates when I refer to interest rates.
